Hildegard Knef: She needed a change of scenery, wanted to have a Sunday on Monday, and was too tired to go to sleep. Although she didn’t believe she would ever become a lady, she dreamed of the Bal Paré. And even if things went downhill from there, it was still beautiful—because that’s just how life is!
The well-established duo of Elke Wollmann (vocals) and Béatrice Kahl (piano) draws on many years of collaboration, during which they have brought a wide variety of programs centered on strong women to the stage.

In Salzgitter, the two artists have already presented their “Edith Piaf” evening as well as the program “Billie, Edith, and Marlene.” Actress and singer Elke Wollmann and soul-jazz pianist Béatrice Kahl are now dedicating their third recital, “Tapetenwechsel,” to the famous “sinner” who didn’t know when to stop: Hildegard Knef.
