Da Capo Udo Jürgens

The original show with the Pepe Lienhard Orchestra

He is a music legend, an icon, a global star – Udo Jürgens. With more than 100 million records sold and countless unforgettable hits such as „Ich war noch niemals in New York“ (I've Never Been to New York), „Aber bitte mit Sahne“ (But Please with Cream) and „Mit 66 Jahren“ (At 66), he is undoubtedly one of the most popular, celebrated and greatest entertainers, songwriters and composers in the German-speaking world. Thanks to his long-time musical companion Pepe Lienhard and his original orchestra, the global star has been back on stage since autumn 2024: „Da Capo Udo Jürgens“ presents the musical legacy of an immortal entertainer.

„Da Capo Udo Jürgens is a musical best-of and a highly emotional journey through time, covering the extraordinary life's work of the charismatic and exceptional artist Udo Jürgens. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, the audience in Zurich will experience a brilliantly staged, absolutely spectacular show, both visually and acoustically. Elaborately digitally edited original recordings and concert recordings will be played live on stage under the direction of none other than Pepe Lienhard and the same excellent orchestra that accompanied him for almost four decades at concerts all over the world, while Udo will be seen and heard larger than life on a huge screen – a perfect illusion.

Since autumn 2024, this unique live programme has been thrilling generations of Udo Jürgens fans and will continue to tour many cities across Germany in 2025. Two well-known names in showbiz, actors and musical performers Tobias Licht and Karim Khawatmi, will host the shows in an irregularly changing line-up – both were engaged for the musical „Ich war noch niemals in New York“ (I've Never Been to New York) and are very familiar with Udo's repertoire.

Udo Jürgens was a man of many talents – composer, entertainer, singer and musician, but also a cosmopolitan and a family man through and through. A star, yet also a person like you and me. The more than 50,000 enthusiastic fans of the first tour make it clear how much he is missed. The celebrated and highly acclaimed show „Da Capo Udo Jürgens“ is the perfect opportunity to experience the musical work of an artist once again.
