Max Raabe is a German singer and entertainer known for performing songs in the style of the Weimar-era cabarets and dance halls of the 1920s and 30s. His music blends elements of jazz, swing, and chanson, often featuring arrangements that meticulously recreate the sound of that period. He typically performs with his ensemble, Palast Orchester, known for their historically informed instrumentation and performance practice. Raabe’s performances are characterized by a distinctive, often deadpan delivery and a focus on pre-war German popular music, alongside original compositions written in a similar vein.

The Metropol Theater Bremen is a historic theater building located in the Gröpelstraße district of Bremen. Originally opened in 1909 as a variety theater – initially named “Metropol-Theater” – it underwent several transformations throughout its history. It served as a cinema for a period before returning to live performance spaces. The building itself is noted for its ornate Art Nouveau architecture, having been extensively restored in the 1980s following damage during World War II. Today, it hosts a diverse program including concerts, musicals, comedy shows, and theatrical productions; functioning as an important cultural venue within Bremen.
