KALW Presents...is proud to be the U.S. broadcast partner for the premiere of this first-ever documentary about the life of Lotte Lenya.
The legendary actress and singer was a groundbreaking artist who immortalized the music of Kurt Weill, one of her husbands. Lotte Lenya was well-known for her rendition of "Mack the Knife” and for originating the role of Jenny in The Three Penny Opera.
Host and producer Guy Livingston takes us on a historical tour of Lotte’s two Worlds — 1920s Berlin and 1950s New York. This is a ConcertZender Radio Netherlands documentary, aired on KALW for the first time in the U.S.
