Shalom Musik Köln: Offenbachs Geheimnis- AUS DEM LEBEN DES KÖLSCHEN GENIES JACQUES OFFENBACH

Pop star of the 19th century, Cologne native, Jewish composer: Jacques Offenbach was a musical phenomenon - fast, funny, unstoppable. Tina Teubner tells his story with speed and a fine sense of nuance, accompanied by his music for cello and piano.

It begins with two brothers from Cologne who arrive in Paris - without a language, without a plan, but full of ambition. Jacob and Julius become Jacques and Jules. One of them takes the city's stages by storm, provides the soundtrack for an entire attitude to life and becomes the celebrated entertainer of his time.

The other eludes this pace. While everything around him is in motion, Jules remains quiet, stubborn, almost immobile. Two lives that could hardly be more different - and yet remain connected.

An evening of music and storytelling, full of wit, pace and surprising depth.
