The humorous programme leads with a successful mixture of timeless German-language chansons by Georg Kreisler, Gerhard Bronner and others, to classics by Friedrich Hollaender and a fine pinch of glamour throughout the evening.

These chanson gems are interpreted by Heidemarie Auinger in a very charmingly soulful, but also powerful way, without losing a certain wink at the black humour.

Exciting stories that life has relentlessly pressed onto the body of a woman who has arrived and matured in the here and now. Over the course of the evening, these are transformed into a musical flight of fancy by a dazzling personality racing along on the rollercoaster of life. She didn't have it easy at the beginning of her often dubious career. The story tells of memories of her first faded love, numerous flirtations, tenderly forged bonds, deep emotions and passions that burn in every respect. Sometimes it would probably be easier to spread the cloak of oblivion over the one or other exalted chapter of life - but certainly less pleasurable! In the end, she only mastered her life in a courageous attempt at independence in order to finally step confidently out of the shadows of the grey backyards and mercilessly into the footsteps of a DIVA.
