TIERGARTEN

This subversive, underground cabaret event takes its name from the Tiergarten—“The Garden of Beasts”—a sprawling central park around which the Third Reich rose to power. As master of ceremonies, Kim David Smith (called “a male Marlene Dietrich” by The New York Times) hosts an evening of music ranging from Kylie Minogue to Verdi, Dean Martin to Max Richter, and William Byrd to Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, all performed by The Grand St. Stompers. Audiences are transported to an immersive 1920s Berlin speakeasy with period-themed food and drinks, vintage dress, dancers, shadow puppets, and actors lurking amidst the audience.

TIERGARTEN is directed by Death of Classical founder and Artistic Director Andrew Ousley, emceed by the great Kim David Smith, whom The New York Times called "a male Marlene Dietrich," and features music by DoC favorites and “pillars of New York’s Hot Jazz scene” (also according to The New York Times) The Grand Street Stompers.

TIERGARTEN is part of Carnegie Hall’s Fall of the Weimar Republic: Dancing on the Precipice.
