An Evening for Heart and Ear: Katharine Mehrling & Tilmar Kuhn at the Kurtheater

When an award-winning chanson singer meets a versatile actor, a rare stage experience emerges: Katharine Mehrling and Tilmar Kuhn unfold in the historic Kurtheater Bad Kissingen the great art of storytelling in songs – between Berlin nights, Brecht/Weill sharpness, and cinematic UFA elegance. An evening for fine ears, clear words, and radiant theater atmosphere.

Between Chanson and Theater: A Staging of the Voice

Mehrling's timbre paints scene pictures as if with light: sometimes velvety and smoky, sometimes pointed and political. Kuhn guides as a partner at the piano and with words through miniatures reminiscent of revue, literature, and cinematic glamour. Dramaturgy and directorial ideas remain slim: the focus is on acting artistry in song, on text intelligibility, breath control, and the art of opening entire spaces with a gesture.

Scenic Images in the Mind: Acoustics, Light, History

The Kurtheater, built in 1904 by Max Littmann, contributes to the intimacy of the evening with its clear acoustics, Art Nouveau details, and warm lighting atmosphere. The architecture concentrates sound, the silver shimmering box supports and the hall in Franconian Baroque frame the concert like a living tableau – a place where every tone resonates and every nuance carries.

Repertoire with Edge: Brecht/Weill, Chansons, UFA Classics

The selection draws from Mehrling's specialty: Brecht/Weill literature with sharp contours, French chansons full of melancholy, and the elegant film music heritage from the 1920s/30s. Press and industry have appreciated her interpretations for years – from the audience award Golden Curtain to prominent guest performances. The audience typically reacts with tense silence and hearty applause.

Conclusion

Expect a concentrated evening full of atmosphere: strong texts, clever dramaturgy, sparkling musicality. Those who love chanson as grand theater should not miss this live experience at the Kurtheater – secure your seats now and feel the magic in the hall.
