On August 8, from 7:30 pm, everything will be all about Udo Jürgens on the open-air stage in front of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.

"UDO JÜRGENS - HOMAGE TO A LEGEND" is one of the successful concerts by musicalpeople: Musical star Karim Khawatmi presents his greatest hits, accompanied by Jonathan Frey on the piano. There is hardly a more perfect location than the Mercedes-Benz Museum, as Udo Jürgens was not only one of the most famous entertainers, singers, and composers of German entertainment music, but he was also a confessed car and motorsport fan. For example, the native of Klagenfurt owned a dark blue Bentley convertible and a white Mercedes 600 from 1970.

The anniversary of his death will be ten years this year. One thing is for sure: If Udo Jürgens were still alive today, he would surely have liked the Mercedes-Benz Museum as a backdrop for his hits.

And who could perform the songs of Udo Jürgens better than Karim Khawatmi? The native of Münster has a very special connection to Udo Jürgens: Firstly, among his numerous musical roles, there was one that he particularly often and gladly played: The lead role of Axel Staudacher in "Ich war noch niemals in New York." In this role, he was not only seen in Stuttgart, Oberhausen, and Berlin, but also in the tour production of the same name, which toured through Munich, Berlin, Vienna, Linz, Graz, Salzburg, Bremen, Bregenz, Essen, and Frankfurt. He owes this role his personal happiness: during rehearsals in Stuttgart in 2010, he met his current wife Sabine Mayer, who played the female lead role. Furthermore, Karim not only had the opportunity to meet Udo Jürgens in person during rehearsals and premieres, but he also shot the photos for his last album "Mitten im Leben" at his request. It's clear that he will share with the audience some personal memories and anecdotes during his concerts.

Don't miss this evening full of emotions, incredibly fun, and with plenty of catchy tunes!

Free seating is available on the concert evening.

Doors open: 6:30 pm
