Udo Jürgens Story

The brilliant duo Gabriela Benesch and Alex Parker, directed by Erich Furrer, ensure an evening full of memories and surprises and make the heart of every Udo Jürgens fan beat faster.

Udo Jürgens was a free spirit in every respect. Musically, he moved carefree between hits, chanson, jazz and pop music. In terms of content, he felt committed to peace, freedom and above all love and was not afraid of it. to offend people sometimes.

With 61 albums and over 400 singles in the charts, with around 1,000 composed songs and more than 100 million records sold, he is one of the most successful solo artists in the world.

"The Udo Jürgens Story" is the idea of the Vienna-born actress Gabriela Benesch and her husband, the Swiss director, actor, author and producer Erich Furrer.

Humorously and with a lot of empathy, she describes stories and anecdotes from the personal notes of the great entertainer. She takes the audience on a journey, starting in Udo Jürgens' childhood and up to his old age, and provides deep insights into his career and his work - true to the motto: "His life, his love, his music".

The narrative insights are accompanied musically by singer and pianist Alex Parker. It is not without reason that Parker is considered the best-known Udo Jürgens interpreter. In the style of his great idol, Parker knows how to create a highly emotional atmosphere between himself and his audience in a likeable way. Udo Jürgens confirmed how close he is to the original to the then 19-year-old Alex Parker himself when he heard him singing in a hotel lobby.

"The Udo Jürgens Story" is a wonderful and extraordinary homage to the grand seigneur of German entertainment music and exceeded all expectations on the first German tour in 2019/2020.
