Happy Birthday, Marlene!

This year, 27 December 2026 marks the 125th anniversary of Marlene Dietrich’s birth. We are celebrating the legendary Berlin actress and singer in December and January with a series of events.

On 4.12., we will be showing the silent film ‘Die Frau, nach der man sich sehnt’ (1929) with live music. On 11.12. and 18.12., the Dietrich films ‘Morocco’ (1930) and ‘A Foreign Affair’ (1948) will be screened. And we will celebrate the film star’s actual birthday on 27 December with a major concert revue as well as an exclusive talk with Dietrich’s grandson Peter Riva.

The events will be accompanied by a special presentation of rare exhibits from the Marlene Dietrich Collection Berlin, curated exclusively for the anniversary.
