Dark Humor, sharp chansons: Georg Kreisler's songs live at Schloss Sassanfahrt
On Friday, October 9, 2026, Stefan Rieger brings the bitterly funny and finely composed songs of Georg Kreisler to Schloss Sassanfahrt. Starting at 7:00 PM, the artist combines singing, piano, recitation, and biographical anecdotes into an intense chanson and cabaret evening.
When laughter gets stuck in your throat
Georg Kreisler is considered a master of dark humor and a shaping figure of piano cabaret. His chansons hit human weaknesses with biting irony, fine sarcasm, and intellectual cynicism. Between pointed observation and musical elegance, a stage performance is created that entertains, irritates, and resonates long after.
Piano, voice, and literary sharpness
Stefan Rieger sings and plays the piano, recites quirky texts, and tells stories from the moving life of the Austrian chansonnier. The program thrives on the direct connection of voice, piano accompaniment, and spoken word. The musical arrangement reveals the precise synchronization of text, timing, and expression.
Between everyday life, classical music, and current events
Kreisler's songs revolve around quirky everyday situations, well-known themes of classical music, literature, and societal observations. His biography as a trained concert pianist and restless emigrant forms the background for a repertoire that combines black humor with musical finesse and human warmth.
A special evening at Schloss Sassanfahrt
The concert takes place in the historic Schloss Sassanfahrt in Hirschaid. The intimate atmosphere of the venue creates space for every word, every punchline, and every nuance of the piano playing. The audience can expect a concentrated concert experience with dense dramaturgy, fine acoustics, and a mood among the audience ranging from chuckles, awe, to contemplation.
Conclusion: Songs of Georg Kreisler promises an entertaining evening filled with black comedy, musical precision, and literary observation. Anyone who wants to experience chanson, piano cabaret, and pointed theater live should mark October 9, 2026, and secure tickets in advance.
