Known world-wide for her prodigious gifts as an actress, singer, dancer and unique recording artist; Ute Lemper has a chameleon-like presence which has entranced audiences with her stage performances (including Broadway and Londons' West End) as well as on the screen and in the concert hall for more than a decade. She has been universally praised for her interpretations of Berlin cabaret songs, the works of Kurt Weill and French chanson.... (She is) sultry, sexy, haughty, innocent, comedic, introspective, seductive and perceptive....Ute Lemper's magnetic stage presence and powerful sexual allure had critics feverish... and audiences queued around the block.
Ute Lemper herself is a phenomenon. She is worldwide recognized
as the real Cabaret Diva who differentiates and distinguishes herself
from other Divas and torch singers by her highly refined style, class, intellect, renaissance and world culture background, plus theatrical stardom
which is based upon a mysteriously and enigmatically “Femina Persona” which for generations was the exclusive monopoly of the one and only Marlene Dietrich her compatriot.
To mark the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, The Wende Museum and Archive of the Cold War with the cooperation of the City of Los Angeles are holding a civic commemoration, art installation and public event on Sunday 8th November 2009. Ute Lemper will be giving a free public performance of " Ghosts Of Berlin" at a temporary wall built across Wiltshire Boulevard at 11-45pm. Ute will also be giving a full concert performance in a special gala earlier in the evening which also includes a DJ set by Shepard Fairey, a silent auction, curator-led tours of The Wende Museum's new exhibition Collected Fragments, as well as ceremonies in front of the Wall Across Wilshire and the Wall Along Wilshire. The gala runs from 8pm to 11-30pm. Tickets are priced at $250 and can be purchased by calling 310-216-1600 extension 305.

Forget the American songbook of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and Kern, here we have the European songbook in a remarkable performance by Ute Lemper. It is almost unknown in this age of copy cat vocalists to find such a fresh, original approach, singing songs that will be totally unfamiliar to the majority of the audience but still managing to hold them spellbound.
Lemper has a glorious voice which can run the whole gamut of emotions from the achingly soft to the frenzied fortissimo. Add to that an equally glorious figure and the ability to move beautifully and no wonder you are transfixed, even though most of the time you are unable to understand a word of what she is singing, unless you happen to speak German, French or Yiddish. Born in Berlin, having lived in Paris and currently domiciled in America, she is multi-lingual and occasionally vocalises in English as well as chatting happily to the audience.
Accompanied by an excellent American rhythm section, her programme includes several unfamiliar songs by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, and it’s a delight when her finale is built around their ever popular Mack the Knife, plus a reminder of her success in Chicago with All That Jazz.
Lemper received a well-deserved standing ovation from an almost capacity house.
