Her fate was shared by many Jewish artists under National Socialism: Magda Spiegel was a star at Oper Frankfurt in its former home on Opernplatz – until she was publicly mocked, fired and persecuted in 1935 before being murdered in Auschwitz. An evening of music, drama and recitation follows the career of this extraordinary singer.

After the concert you can meet some of the artists in the Clara Schumann Foyer.
