Meta Hüper

Following the huge success of her first solo show, “When Night Falls…,” Meta’s new stage program focuses on the morning after.
The tall blonde, who—as always—takes the stage in full 1920s style with tailcoat pants, suspenders, and a hat, takes us on a journey through musical daydreams, sobering truths, high hopes, and happy coincidences. She switches effortlessly between singing and the violin, and even boldly picks up the singing saw from time to time. With her voice and various instruments, she soars through a wide variety of genres with fervor and passion.
But what remains the morning after? Nothing but mere memories of the past?
The songs of the magnificent Hilde Knef are just as essential to answering this question as Grieg’s “Morning Mood” or Billie Holiday’s “Good Morning Heartache.” Morricone’s “Once Upon a Time in the West” gets under your skin just as much as Piazzolla’s “Regreso al amor” (Return to Love).
In the end, a promising realization remains: Even during the day, there’s no reason for boredom—after the night comes before the night!

Meta Hüper is a musical jack-of-all-trades. The Berlin chansonnière par excellence combines
her love for the music of the 1920s with her classical roots, the tango nuevo, and
French and German chanson. She captivates audiences with her versatile musical talent,
shines with her singing and violin playing, and surprises with unusual instruments. She
presents all of this with custom-made arrangements as a musical Gesamtkunstwerk that is
unparalleled.
As a singer, violinist, and bandleader, she has been performing on international stages for years alongside greats such as Till Brönner and Max Raabe. As a member of the successful all-female quartet Salut Salon, she toured around the globe for eight years. Since 2024, she has been performing exclusively as a soloist. Together with the Capital Dance Orchestra and Sharon Brauner, she presents the jointly developed revue “Berlin, Du coole Sau” at the Tipi am Kanzleramt.
In her new solo program “Der Morgen danach,” Meta Hüper is accompanied, as always, with confidence and originality by Jens Schlichting on piano. The acclaimed silent-film pianist already wowed audiences in Meta’s previous program. Equally at home in classical and jazz, he knows how to lend the evening a special sparkle with sensitivity and musical sophistication.
