Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen by Ward Murta, から (2025/2025), 監督 Matthias Winter, 導体 Jeffrey Goldberg, Opernhaus Chemnitz, Chemnitz, Germany

Deep black, dramatic eyelashes over bright eyes, a firm gaze, paired with a no less charismatic voice that evokes the all-or-nothing, the uncompromising devotion to a life between failure and complete fulfillment in iconic lines. This is how Hildegard Knef is known in her songs, films and books. Her own biography had quite a few twists and turns in store for her, which took her from the war to the theater and in front of the film camera, led her to Hollywood and Broadway and back to Germany, shook up the media, shook her fragile health more than once and made her find happiness, lose it and then find it again. This musical and emotional portrait of the great German actress and singer begins in the middle of this eventful life, in 1975. The experienced "Knef" meets the young "Hilde": two women, one person. They argue and exchange words in countless chansons, poems and passages from her memoirs, which bring to life Knef's journey from the rubble of Berlin to Broadway, between workaholism, excessive longing and constant restlessness.
