Marlene Dietrich was a screen goddess, singer, global star, and a legend. She embodied elegance and sensuality, discipline and determination, her German heritage and a cosmopolitan outlook. In the late 1930s, Dietrich was involved in a romantic relationship with Erich Maria Remarque. In his novel *\*Arc de Triomphe\**, he explored this ill-fated love affair. His writings offer a personal glimpse into the life of a woman he knew and loved. The reading of these literary excerpts is interwoven with songs that made Marlene Dietrich famous, as well as with chansons that are connected in other ways to her life, her companions, and her era. Markus Neumeyer’s arrangements blend the sounds of the 1920s and 1930s with elements of modern avant-garde and popular music. The theme “If I Could Make a Wish” serves as the musical thread running through the evening. Featuring: Ingrid El Sigai (narrator), Markus Neumeyer (piano & arrangements), Tobias Rüger (saxophone), and Gregor Praml (bass).
