CABARET AT CAFÉ SABARSKY

The Neue Galerie is delighted to present Cabaret at Café Sabarsky. A beloved tradition at the museum, this exceptional series pays homage to the vibrant German and Austrian theatrical culture of the 1890s to 1930s through intimate evenings with acclaimed artists such as Ute Lemper, Theo Bleckmann, Sanda Weigl, and many more. Before the show, guests enjoy a dinner of elevated modern Austrian cuisine prepared under the direction of Café Sabarsky’s Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Christopher Engel. The atmospheric splendor of the Cabaret is heightened by the exquisitely-appointed dining room’s original architectural features and period designs, including lighting fixtures by Josef Hoffmann, furniture by Adolf Loos, and a magnificent Bösendorfer grand piano — all set against the timeless backdrop of Fifth Avenue and Central Park.

Price varies by performance. Tickets include the cost of a three-course dinner at 7 p.m. followed by a Cabaret performance at 9 p.m., as well as tax and gratuity. Beverages are sold separately on the evening of the program. Tickets are final sale.

WITH VANA GIERIG

In 1901, Hermann Bahr wrote about Gustav Klimt’s work, “just as only a lover can reveal to a man what life means to him and develop its innermost significance, I feel the same about these paintings.” In a new program inspired by the Neue Galerie’s special exhibition, “Klimt Landscapes,” the world-renowned chanteuse of stage and screen, Ute Lemper, explores eros, love, and femininity through life’s changing seasons with music by Weill, Gershwin, Piazzola, Brel and others.
