Max Raabe and Palast Orchester - a Night in Berlin at Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts

About

Berlin’s famed crooner Max Raabe and his 12-piece Palast Orchester present their elegant collection of meticulously recreated German and American standards of the 1920s and 30s. More Fred Astaire than Joel Grey, the burnished baritone with a “martini-dry wit” and his orchestra bring Weimar-era cabaret to life with masterful showmanship and polished performances. As The Boston Globe says “ the show goes beyond mere surface; this is serious music-making. The 12-piece band ... is vibrant, versatile, exquisitely balanced, and tight as a bow tie.”
