Natale con Fred e Frank - Wien - 2026

Das Vindobona, Wien

With “Natale con Fred e Frank,” Rome-born singer and Volksoper ensemble member Marco Di Sapia invites you to a Christmas Eve celebration that’s as swinging as it is charming—accompanied by piano, bass, and drums.

In a unique blend, the cheeky, humorous, and jazzy, groovy songs of the iconic Italian singer Fred Buscaglione meet the unforgettable Christmas classics of Frank Sinatra. Blending Italian “dolce vita,” American swing, and festive Christmas spirit, the performance paints musical pictures brimming with joie de vivre, nostalgia, and tongue-in-cheek gangster charm.

Marco Di Sapia guides the audience through the program in both German and Italian with plenty of wit, sharing little stories about the songs and blending well-known Buscaglione hits like “Teresa non sparare,” “Eri piccola così,” and “Buonasera Signorina” with Sinatra classics such as “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!, “Jingle Bells,” “The Christmas Song,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
