Step into the intimate, dreamy light of Le Boeuf sur le toit, the legendary cabaret bar of 1920s Paris. The liquor is strong and spirits are high. War is over and art is flourishing. Here, Europe’s most fashionable mingle with the city’s greatest minds: Coco Chanel, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein.
Richard Tognetti directs the Australian Chamber Orchestra as they dive into an era of innovation and wonder, featuring renowned Australian soprano Chloe Lankshear. Le Gateau Chocolat, of La Clique and La Soirée fame, will be the maitre d’. Brilliant bass and exceptional entertainer, he’ll take you on a journey into les années folles (the crazy years).
You’ll hear music by French greats inclusing Erik Satie, Lili Boulanger, Francis Poulenc, Darius Milhaud and more.
With staging by Circa’s Yaron Lifschitz, who always brings the unexpected, this will be a spectacular afternoon of storytelling, song and surrealism.
