The BQE Project, an eight-piece film music ensemble led by Tom Nazziola, is performing a new music score in tandem with the classic film, The Blue Angel—offering additional live musical accompaniment to support the film's dialogue and cabaret scenes. The new score, which premiered in 2001 at New York's popular Celebrate Brooklyn! festival, blends the legendary film techniques of Josef Von Sternberg with the spontaneity of live musical theater. The result is a fresh look at an established classic; Marlene Dietrich is literally accompanied by a live orchestra as she croons the film's memorable hit "Falling in Love Again." The film, directed by Josef Von Sternberg, is best known for catapulting Marlene Dietrich into Hollywood stardom—and for being one of the first films to usher in the era of "talkies."
