Ute Lemper – Channel 4 promo segment

She was the star of the original Paris production of Cabaret, winning an Olivier Award for her Broadway role in Chicago.

German singer Ute Lemper, whose family was divided by the Berlin Wall, performed alongside Pink Floyd to mark its collapse. Her career has been defined by her love of the music of the Weimar-era, and the composer Kurt Weill.

125 years after his birth, she’s released a new album adapting his music for the modern age – and she’ll perform it at Cadogan Hall in London next weekend.
