Die Comedian Harmonists - Hamburger Kammerspiele

Description

Immortal classics of the 1920s such as "Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus," "Ein Freund, ein guter Freund," or "Irgendwo auf der Welt" sound as if they were just composed, thanks to a pinch of boy band feeling. Berlin, 1927: Harry Frommermann sings mainly for fun and is a big fan of the American vocal quartet The Revelers. Now he is looking for professional singers. He wants to form his own ensemble! Besides 70 other unemployed men, Robert Biberti also responds to his ad. Biberti not only has an extraordinary bass voice but is also a passionate fan of The Revelers. A few days later, Biberti brings two choir colleagues, who in turn bring a pianist, and slowly an a cappella male singing group takes shape. The young men make music together, rehearse like crazy, struggle through, and finally have their first successes. The rest is history — a true story at that: the founding of the Comedian Harmonists, the meteoric rise of the sextet, and in 1935, the professional ban for the three Jewish members by the National Socialists and the subsequent separation of the group. Gottfried Greiffenhagen and Franz Wittenbrink created an immortal success story for the stage from this. The musical direction is in the hands of Jan-Christof Scheibe.
