I’m a stranger here myself - A Kurt Weill Cabaret

A visionary artist, Kurt Weill bridged worlds—from the biting cabarets of Weimar Berlin and the salons of Paris to the glittering lights of Broadway—blending classical sophistication with popular song and giving voice to the dreams, struggles, and ironies of the modern age. His music reshaped the very idea of what theater could express: human, political, and profoundly alive.

Canto creates the intimacy of a cabaret, where Weill’s songs come alive once more—Music of longing, irony, and fierce humanity.

Guiding the evening is Maurice Lugassy, Professor of French Culture and an engaging storyteller, who brings his deep knowledge and passion for the intersection of music, literature, and history. With insight and charm, he weaves reflections and context between performances, illuminating the world that shaped Weill’s art and the enduring resonance of his music today.
