Vollmund // La Dolce Vita – Special Edition

In the organizer's words:

On this evening, we spoil our guests with small Italian antipasti, which are already included in the ticket price. La Dolce Vita through and through!

"Come with us to Italy...", the three Italy-loving exceptional artists invite us right at the beginning of their evening. What awaits us is a wonderful mixture of musical and literary delicacies from the land where the lemons bloom.

Whether it's an operatic aria, a wonderfully romantic tenor song or an old pop song, Michael Senzig is not just for music lovers. Because in addition to his voice, he also has that certain something.

And Micki Bertling knows how to play with the subtle ironic humor of Italian literature from Luciano de Crescenzo to Umberto Eco just as brilliantly as with the spirited tones of Italo-pop from Paolo Conte to Adriano Celentano. They are supported by Maki Kojima, the captivating pianist, with her equally virtuoso and sensitive accompaniment.

The evening takes us back to the bygone era of the legendary Caruso, creates a tongue-in-cheek brotherhood with the Italo wave of Vico Torriani's time and reveals a great deal about the Italian way of life today.

With Michael Senzig and Micki Bertling, we stroll across the piazza in Milan, learn the secret of the southern Italian lottery, see how the red sun sinks into the sea near Capri, find out what olive oil has to do with joie de vivre, discover what happens when the roses bloom in Florence, hear about love in Portofino and, in the process, indulge in wonderful melodies time and again. In short: we really get to know "la dolce vita", the sweet life under the southern sun.

The evening is so varied, melodious and entertaining that the short trip seems far too short in any case! Whether you're a fan of Italy or new to the country, the evening arouses so much enthusiasm that everyone ends up dreaming of Bella Italia together.

La Dolce Vita is an unforgettable evening, fun, uncomplicated and entertaining. It combines the most beautiful moments of the Italian way of life and the longing for Italy in a unique way. Popular Italian arias and tenor songs are accompanied by stories, texts and acted dialogs: a declaration of love to Italy.
