La Dolce Docu

Nov 30, 2025

"La Dolce Doku" is a master's thesis by Leonard Stern. The film delves into the pop-cultural phenomenon of Roy Bianco & Die Abbrunzati Boys – a band that represents far more than "just" Italian pop music. It explores authenticity, musical DNA, a longing for Italy, and the question: Why does this project work so well – and why does it resonate with so many people? Through interviews, studio footage from Vienna, concert moments, expert opinions from figures such as Dieter Thomas Kuhn, Dr. Richard Brütting, and Prof. Dr. Christoph Jacke, as well as insights from longtime associates of the band, the film attempts to paint a multifaceted picture – without shattering the myth. The documentary aims to explain why RB&DAB are not just a fleeting phenomenon, but a band with lasting relevance.

Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny

Nov 27, 1979

John Dexter’s brilliant production, James Levine’s masterful conducting of the eclectic score, and a sensational cast come together to make this Kurt Weill–Bertolt Brecht masterpiece a riveting evening of music theater.
