The Stars That Smile Upon Their Cottage

Overview

In the early 1970s, Briel recorded conversations on tape with the opera and concert singer Adelheid Pickert, then nearly 90 years old, in a garden house in Wilmersdorf. She recalls her greatest successes between 1915 and 1930. In 1981, Briel revisits his meeting with this artist and juxtaposes the old lady's account with his own memories of her.
