Nina Proll:Trio De Salon - Weill/ Brecht/ Kaiser: Lieder Eines Armen

Named after the song cycle Songs of a Poor Girl (which Friedrich Hollaender composed for his first wife, the Berlin diseuse Blandine Ebinger, in the 1920s), this idiosyncratic 'song recital' illustrates the destinies of a fictional singer in the 1920s. Interpreted by the versatile actress and singer Nina Proll, the programme is built around bizarre little dramas and tragi-grotesques by exiled composers who later carved out magnificent careers in America: Friedrich Hollaender, Hanns Eisler and Kurt Weill. Nina Proll is musically supported by the Trio de Sal�n with Peter Gillmayr, violin, Andrej Serkov, bayan, and Roland Wiesinger, double bass.Born in Vienna, Proll studied acting, dancing and singing at the Theater an der Wien and the Performing Arts Studios in Vienna. There followed commitments at the City Theatre in Klagenfurt, in Amstetten and her debut at Vienna's Theater in der Josefstadt in Lampenfieber in 1997.After her first leading role in film in Hinterholz 8, she won her first awards at international film festivals for her work in Nordrand and has become famous because of film and television productions such as Komm, s��er Tod, Am anderen Ende der Br�cke, Fallen, Keinohrhasen and Buddenbrooks.
