Whether at the Viennese imperial court or in Prince Gremin’s castle, whether with the Russian prince Orlovsky or the Spanish bon vivant Don Giovanni – everywhere, lavish festivities are celebrated in which dance takes center stage. Look forward to a musical fireworks display that will make it hard for you to stay in your seats and will have you wanting to storm the stage in waltz step.

The band performs classics such as “Suzanne,” “Sisters Of Mercy,” “So Long Marianne,” and “Famous Blue Raincoat” with impressive virtuosity and tireless joy of playing. At the forefront is musician and film producer Rolf Ableiter, who authentically and uniquely delivers Cohen’s mostly melancholic tonal colors to great effect. Field Commander C. brings Leonard Cohen back to life for unforgettable moments and sends its audience on a unique journey through time with the lyrics and songs of one of the greatest musical poets of the 20th century - live!
