CABARET AT CAFÉ SABARSKY

Cabaret at Café Sabarsky, an ongoing tradition at the Neue Galerie, is a union of modern Austrian cuisine with classic European music and performance. The spirit of each evening harkens back to the early 20th century, experienced within the period-inspired Café Sabarsky. The room is exquisitely appointed with Wiener Werkstätte designs, including lighting fixtures by Josef Hoffmann, furniture by Adolf Loos, and a magnificent Bösendorfer grand piano. The program is dedicated to performances that celebrate the modern era in the style of Austrian and German Cabaret, and the genre’s commitment to questioning social mores through humor, storytelling, and wit.

We are delighted to announce the Spring 2020 season of Cabaret at Café Sabarsky! Each evening begins with a prix-fixe dinner at 7 p.m., followed by a cabaret performance at 9 p.m. in the intimate setting of the Café. Price varies by performance.

Pre-sale tickets are now available exclusively to Members of the Neue Galerie. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 21. Can't wait?
