Sparrow and Angel

Unforgettable songs, from “Non, je ne regrette rien” to “Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind,” have made these two artists immortal. The “Europeans with homesickness” met in the United States in the late 1940s, admiring and taking a liking to one another. Spatz und Engel traces the arc from the first encounter between the “Blue Angel” and the “Sparrow of Paris” to Edith Piaf’s early death and Marlene Dietrich’s self-imposed isolation in her Paris apartment. The evening dedicated to these 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.
