Longing with Dagmar Manzel: An evening that brings melancholy to life

A song evening like a sparkling mirror of stage poetry: Dagmar Manzel returns to the Kurtheater Bad Kissingen with her program "Longing." Chansons and songs by Hollaender, Eisler, Spoliansky, Abraham, Weill, and Oehring unfold a theatrical atmosphere where humorous lightness and deep melancholy embrace each other.

Sound of the Night: Chanson, Cabaret, Great Acting

Even the first notes outline contours: fine accordion colors, a breathing bass, a velvety piano, alongside Manzel's versatile voice - sometimes smoky, sometimes clear. The staging remains concert-like, yet the dramaturgy of the evening follows an inner narrative arc: ironic miniatures, poetic interludes, then moments of existential density. Those who love the Weimar chanson tradition experience a seamless stage art here.

Light, Space, Resonance

The historic Kurtheater, with its neo-baroque aura, provides a sensual stage experience: golden light moods play over green-covered walls, the acoustics carry every text to the boxes. The musicians – violin, guitar, accordion, bass, and piano – form a chamber stage with Manzel, where every timbre counts. Thus, longing becomes a scenic score of gestures, pauses, and punchlines.

Twenties Reloaded: From Hollaender to Eisler

The selection spans the arc from the cabaret tone of the 1920s through film melodies to politically sharpened songs. Familiar numbers shine anew: longing does not appear as a patina but as presence. Manzel's acting artistry sharpens the subtexts, her timing sets the comedic edges, and her phrasing opens the quiet spaces.
