Sparrow and Angel

Unforgettable songs, from “Non, je ne regrette rien” to “Tell Me Where the Flowers Are,” have made these two artists immortal. The “Europeans with homesickness” met in the United States in the late 1940s, where they admired and took a liking to one another. *Spatz und Engel* traces the story from the “Blue Angel’s” first encounter with the “Sparrow of Paris” to Edith Piaf’s untimely death and Marlene Dietrich’s self-imposed isolation in her Paris apartment. This evening dedicated to the two global stars brings their most famous chansons to life—including “La vie en rose,” “Don’t Ask Why I’m Leaving,” “Milord,” and many more.
