Fly me to the moon

The production "Fly Me to the Moon - Sinatra meets Varieté" opens a window to an era in which stagecraft and musical elegance were understood as a social ritual at the Urania Spiegelpalast from March 20. The show unfolds an atmospheric evening that does not merely quote Sinatra's repertoire, but transfers it into a contemporary interpretation. Frank Brunet, known from the Harry Potter musical, takes up Sinatra's stylistic precision and gives it a new interpretation that oscillates between homage and independent expression. At the same time, international artistry forms a second narrative strand: the juggler Danil Lysenko, multiple Guinness record holder, uses physical virtuosity to create a contrasting momentum that triggers reflection on physical norms, discipline and stage aesthetics. Live music, scenographic details and the intimate setting of the Spiegelpalast create a space that does not nostalgically cite historical references - Las Vegas of the 60s, New York clubs - but rather productively rethinks them. The result is an evening that brings music, variety and theater into dialogue and poses the question of how icons of pop culture can be experienced anew today.
