With this special French concert evening, Evi Niessner – The Voice Of Vintage – takes the audience into old Paris at night and lets it shine in bright light – Paris! ...when it was still like a circus. Full of stories and secrets are the streets and squares of this magical city Paris. They speak of unfulfilled longing, of happy and unhappy romances, sleepless nights, or the grand dreams of a better world. “Parlez moi d’amour!” means: “Tell me about love!”, and Evi Niessner does so with her expressive voice and her whole body in all its facets.
Annegret Cratz is regarded as one of Germany's most renowned musicians on the accordion. On this evening, the most French of all instruments becomes an entire orchestra through her. With classics such as Milord, Padam Padam, and L’Accordeoniste, rarities like Kurt Weill's Youkali, and a personal arrangement of Evi Niessner's title song La Nuit, the whole world for this blue hour turns into the longing place Paris.
And when the violin of Dimi Rey then jubilates, laments, weeps, or laughs, so stylishly, virtuoso, and masterfully like no other, one lets oneself be irresistibly carried away in the sea of sounds and emotions – and the lovers tenderly tell each other about love, through the whole night.
In LA NUIT DE PARIS – AUF DEN SPUREN DER PIAF, Evi Niessner immerses herself in the world of Piaf, highlighting especially the dark sides of the City of Love with all its secrets, abysses, and in all its radiant beauty. An evening at the highest artistic and musical level, delivered with playful and nonchalant ease – like the night of Paris!
