Celebrating one of the greatest screen legends of the twentieth century, acclaimed cabaret Falling in Love Again transports audiences to iconic moments of musical performance from the career of Marlene Dietrich.  
 

A jewel in the crown of New Zealand stage and screen, and a veritable diva in her own right, Jennifer Ward-Lealand weaves together a songbook comprising classics by songwriting greats, including Cole Porter, Pete Seeger, Frederic Hollander and Edith Piaf. Jennifer will be joined by musical director Grant Winterburn on Auckland Museum's Fazioli grand piano and Aaron Coddel on bass. 

Performed to sell out seasons throughout Australia and New Zealand, Falling in Love Again vividly captures the style and glamour of Hollywood’s golden age, and one of the most trailblazing divas of her time. 

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of elegance in Auckland Museum’s stunning Te Ao Mārama South Atrium.
 

Your ticket includes complimentary access to our current special exhibition DIVA which will be open from 7PM.
