Tammy Hensrud and Robert Osborne

Alma Mahler, "the most beautiful girl in Vienna," was romantically involved with the greatest artists of her day: Oskar Kokoschka, Gustav Klimt, Arnold Schoenberg and  Leonard Bernstein, to name a few. Hensrud and Osborne shed light on this femme fatale through cabaret tunes and satirical numbers, delightfully interspersed with brief selections from Mahler’s writings.
