From January through May 2024, as the centerpiece of the 2023–2024 season, Carnegie Hall will present Fall of the Weimar Republic: Dancing on the Precipice, an ambitious citywide festival exploring one of the most complex and consequential chapters in modern human history: Germany’s Weimar Republic of 1919–1933. Through dozens of musical performances at Carnegie Hall and multidisciplinary offerings at leading cultural and academic institutions across New York City and beyond, the festival will examine the arts and culture that flourished as artists sought bold and innovative avenues for creative expression in this increasingly traumatic period in history.
