The Vampire at the Piano in Düsseldorf: An Evening Between Glamour and Goosebumps

When a musical star curates their own stage experience, a magical theater atmosphere is created: Thomas Borchert returns with his solo program The Vampire at the Piano to the Savoy Theater Düsseldorf – a piano, a voice, an evening full of musical theater icons and personal stories.

A Countly Musical Evening – Virtuosic, Intimate, Gripping

Borchert unfolds a dramaturgically cleverly constructed revue of his over three decades of stage artistry. Accompanying himself at the piano, he elegantly shifts between storytelling and singing, letting glimpses of his career shine through – from Dance of the Vampires to Jekyll & Hyde and Elisabeth to Les Misérables. This small-scale production thrives on the precision of direction in the mind: timing, punchlines, inner images.

Sound, Light, Presence: Theater for Close-Up Experience

The Savoy, a venue with a charming 1950s soul, amplifies Borchert's timbre and the acoustic richness of the piano. The subtle lighting mood highlights contours, creates shadow spaces – an aesthetic framework in which dramatic ballads, cabaret peaks and delicate chansons can breathe organically.

Biography Meets Stage Myth

As a long-time Count von Krolock, Borchert knows the dark elegance of the role inside out. In The Vampire at the Piano, he playfully breaks this aura, shares anecdotes from the musical sewing box and counters pathos with a wink. This creates a masterclass in acting: voice as character, piano as counterpart, dramaturgy as a common thread.

Audience Reaction: Standing Ovations as a Ritual

Wherever Borchert performs, the audience responds with a noticeable curve of tension: soft whispers at the first notes, collective smiles at musical quotes, and finally, prolonged applause. An evening that creates atmosphere and anchors memories.

Conclusion

What can visitors expect? A touching solo evening between dark shimmer and bright punchlines – the essence of musical theater, densely narrated and grippingly performed. Experiencing it live is worthwhile: only in the hall does this electrifying closeness of voice, piano, and audience come to life.
