The Moons of Venus: Romancing Marlene Dietrich

“For me to impersonate another woman cheats us both,” says singer Karen Kohler. Consequently, in The Moons of Venus – Romancing Marlene Dietrich she does not copy the Teutonic femme fatale but rather portraits her through her own signature interpretations of songs from Marlene’s films, USO tour and later career as a cabaret entertainer. The program has remembered “die Dietrich” to audiences in Berlin, London and Adelaide/Australia. In 2005, The Moons of Venus was recorded in New York and is now available on CD.

The Moons of Venus: Romancing Marlene Dietrich is part of German-American Friendship Week, a celebration of German culture throughout the city of New York.
