A Thousand Kisses Deep: Leonard Cohen between Poetry and Music
On Friday, November 13, 2026, the Metropoltheater Munich transforms into an atmospheric resonance space for Leonard Cohen's timeless language. A Thousand Kisses Deep is a musical-literary homage to the Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and writer – featuring biographical highlights, anecdotes, texts, and nearly 15 songs.
An Evening Between Darkness and Light
Leonard Cohen's work thrives on contrasts: melancholy meets dry humor, intimate confession meets philosophical breadth, deep doubt meets a cautious glimmer of hope. Kathrin von Steinburg and Jakob Tögel approach this tension with song, language, and stage presence. Their joint evening seeks not a mere copy of the original but rather a unique sound that translates Cohen's poetic depth into the present.
Biography, Anecdotes, and Nearly 15 Songs
The production follows the traces of an artist whose texts extend well beyond classical song structures. Cohen was initially an author and understood language and poetry as central driving forces of his work. Accordingly, the evening blends musical interpretation with narrative passages and biographical insights. Central questions revolve around Cohen's humility, his coping with depression, his humor, and the women who shaped his life and songs.
A Unique Sound for a Great Legacy
Kathrin von Steinburg and Jakob Tögel, both ensemble members of the Metropoltheater and musically active for many years, shape the concert experience as a concentrated duet. Their voices traverse a repertoire where folk, chanson, and poetic songwriting intertwine. The Abendzeitung certified the production for transferring the warmth and spirit of Cohen into a unique sound without kitsch; particularly the duet singing allows the depth of a thousand kisses to become palpable.
Live Atmosphere at the Metropoltheater
The intimate venue creates the perfect setting for an evening that thrives on closeness, acoustics, and concentrated audience mood. The performance lasts about 1 hour and 25 minutes without an intermission. Doors open 90 minutes before the show starts. After the performance, visitors receive an envelope in which they can place the amount they feel the evening was worth.
Conclusion: Encounter Leonard Cohen Live Anew
A Thousand Kisses Deep combines music theater, concert evening, and literary homage into a sensual portrait of Leonard Cohen. Those who wish to experience his songs, his language, and the contradictory beauty of his artistic legacy anew will find an intense evening full of voices, stories, and musical nuances at the Metropoltheater.
