"THE SONGS OF JACQUES BREL"
6 - 9 JULY 2005
EXTRA SHOW BY POPULAR DEMAND 15 JULY 2005
After sell-out shows in 2004, sexy soulful Micheline van Hautem and her virtuoso accordianist Frederik Caelen bring the immortal music of Jacques Brel to life.
See the spell-binding Belgian siren abandon herself to the poetry and the passion of Jacques Brel's repertoire. With her muscial partner, virtuoso accordionist Frederik Caelen, these two last stunned packed houses in Adelaide, at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Festivals. And now they return to Australia in triumph with an even more intimate, more intense show at Sydney's most sophisticated new live music venue, @Newtown.
Jacques Brel was one of the 20th century's greatest chansonniers, tapping the bright heights and the dark depths in songs such as "Seasons in the Sun", "In the Port of Amsterdam" and "Ne Me Quitte Pas". In Micheline van Hautem, his passionate music finds its greatest interpreter with pure, thrilling emotion and an uplifting joie de vivre that will have Sydney audiences on their feet cheering!
