The Seattle Men’s Chorus will be singing up a storm at Seattle Center’s McCaw Hall this weekend. And this particular concert has a unique historical context—entitled “Falling in Love Again,” this show uses a wide variety of music to evocatively highlight the lives of gay men in German before and during the Nazi era.

From the Seattle Men’s Chorus:

Act I, Life is a Cabaret, brings to life the free-wheeling high spirits of the pre-war Weimar period with outrageously entertaining music by Kurt Weill, Kander and Ebb (Cabaret), and songs made popular by German icon Marlene Dietrich.

Act II presents Jake Heggie’s For a Look or a Touch, a poignant look at two gay lovers torn apart by the Holocaust. Starring guest baritone Morgan Smith, staged by Intiman Theatre’s Andrew Russell, and featuring the full Men’s Chorus, this thought-provoking, ultimately uplifting musical drama is a soaring tribute to the strength of the human spirit.

There will be two performances of Falling in Love Again, the first at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, and the second at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 3. Tickets range from $20 to $55, depending on which show you attend. More ticket information here.
