Hans Sigl - Globe Wien

GLOBE WIEN - Marx Halle, Wien

With a selection of cheerful and contemplative Christmas stories personally curated by Hans Sigl, the actor invites the audience to an atmospheric evening. Humorous texts by Heinz Erhardt and Axel Hacke, Christmas literary classics by Theodor Fontane and Charles Dickens as well as enchanting winter tales from Scandinavia are combined with musical interludes to create a varied program. Between quiet moments and tongue-in-cheek humor, the result is a dense, atmospheric production that immerses the audience in the special mood of the Christmas season. Hans Sigl leads the audience through the evening with his present and approachable manner, creating an immediate and very special relationship with the audience.

The evening is framed by familiar friends: Michael Armann, for decades at the grand piano when Sigl gives readings, improvises with double bassist Malte Tönissen and percussionist Almuth Lustig on Christmas classics such as "Jingle Bells" or "Silent Night, Holy Night". At some shows, the Frankfurt trio of Bastian Weinig, Max Jentzen and Nicolas Hering swing through the world-famous melodies.

Hans Sigl: "I love the direct connection to the live audience. In addition to my acting work for film and television, literary evenings are a real affair of the heart for me. The special atmosphere in the auditorium and, above all, the shared laughter with the audience make every evening unique for me!"
