Katharina Strasser, Katharina Hohenberger and the Vienna Brut

What Would Vienna Be Without the Viennese – A Tribute to Hugo Wiener
Katharina Straßer, Katharina Hohenberger, and die Wiener Brut

Katharina Straßer seems made for the role of Cissy Kraner. Likewise, die Wiener Brut, with singer Katharina Hohenberger, delves deeply into the music of Hugo Wiener. Katie and Kathi, the two singing actresses—or acting singers—exchange fresh wit and K & K charm face to face. In the innocently dark humor of Hugo Wiener and the songs of die Wiener Brut, this delightful double performance humorously celebrates the outrages of men or other ideal beauties.

Thus it goes: Novotny or Andi—and it revolves around the question of all questions: Favorites or perhaps bella Italia? Boris Fiala, longtime accompanist of Katharina Straßer, and the band around Katharina Hohenberger, die Wiener Brut, provide musically sophisticated accompaniment to the two artists and clearly have a lot of fun doing so.
