Caroline Nin - Hymne a Piaf

Thu 24 Jun 2010

Fans of Edith Piáf know there is more to ‘the little sparrow’ than “Non, je ne regrette rien!.”

Parisian cabaret performer Caroline Nin brings to Australia and The Noosa Longweekend Festival this frank and tender tribute to France’s most famous chanteuse.

Since its inception, the show has been presented as far afield as the Royal Festival Hall and the King’s Head Theatre in London.

After sellout seasons at the Sydney Opera House and Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Nin comes to the Sunshine Coast to draw audiences into Piáf’s uplifting and tragic world.

Nin’s spine-tingling and moving revelation makes full use of her eloquent, attentive diction and spirited singing to breathe new life into familiar anthems. This Piáf tribute by this finely-chiselled performer is not an impersonation, but homage by a fellow Parisian chanteuse.

She has been hailed internationally for her renditions of famous anthems such as La vie en Rose, Hymne à l’amour and Padam, all served up in her signature, smoky, jazz-inflected tone.

Caroline Nin will be accompanied by Tom O’Halloran on piano and Jonathan Zwartz on contrabass.

Cost - $55 per person
