Perchtoldsdorf Hosts Free Open Air Featuring Starmania Alum and Award-Winning Cabaret
Khira Ayers and Mona Kospach Light Up Frei P’dorf Stage
Perchtoldsdorf is set to buzz with live entertainment as the “Stage Frei P’dorf!” series presents a free open-air event on Friday, August 1, 2025. The evening promises a musical treat from a familiar television voice followed by a comedic performance from a rising cabaret star.
Indie Pop Meets Profound Lyrics
Kicking off the festivities at 6:00 p.m. will be Viennese singer **Khira Ayers**. Gaining recognition on the “Starmania 22” show, **Ayers** captivates audiences with a unique blend of indie pop and deeply meaningful lyrics. Her original compositions and cover songs are brought to life with her three-piece band, featuring guitarist and producer **Florian Wustinger**, bassist **Tamas Budai**, and drummer **Julian Nass**.
Cabaret Star “Moko” Takes the Stage
Following the musical set at 7:30 p.m., the spotlight shifts to **Mona Kospach**, the winner of the Cabaret Talente Show 2025, with her program “Moko is coming!”. The show is described as a vibrant journey through life’s aspirations and unexpected detours.
“Moko moves to Vienna, looking for an apartment, a job and meets a witch and seven insurance gnomes. Again and again there are small allusions and references to well-known Disney figures that skillfully underline the fairytale motif. She is accompanied by characters such as her friend Alen and her two grandmothers, who appear like helping fairies and stand by her with suitable advice.”
—Gabriel Schaffler, Ö1 Radio program Contra
The cabaret explores themes of career, personal fulfillment, and the search for answers as life throws curveballs, promising a night of laughter and reflection. In 2023, the Austrian cabaret scene saw a significant increase in audience numbers, with many venues reporting sold-out shows, highlighting the enduring popularity of the genre (Source: Austrian Cultural Forum statistics, 2024).
