This tribute to the life and music of Kurt Weill features, Lou Reed, Teresa Stratas, Elvis Costello and the Brodsky String Quartet Nick Cave, Betty Carter, P.J. Harvey, William S. Burroughs, Charlie Haden, The Persuasions and a host of the others performing many of the composer´s most celebrated songs, including “Mack the Knife”, “September Song”, and “Alabama Song”. Set in a turn-of-the century warehouse, the lavish designs echo many of the themes of Weill´s work. From the steely austerity of a 1930´s factory floor to be glittering spectacle of a Broadway musical stage, each performance reflects the magic of the music and captures Weill´s creative spirit.
