Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden play the most beautiful operetta hits by Paul Lincke, Eduard Künneke or Richard Tauber. In addition, standards from Broadway musicals by George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. The soloists of the evening are the American opera diva Renée Fleming and the German tenor and ECHO Klassik award winner Klaus Florian Vogt.
