CONCERT · GENEVA CAMERATA X DIAMANDA CALLAS
Love at first sight!
The orchestra that reimagines the conventions of classical music meets Diamanda Callas for the first time—a gothic, egotistical drag singer, a pop diva with an edge, and a cabaret tragedienne. The promise of an exceptionally whimsical performance!
Featuring Diamanda Callas on vocals, Jérémy Bruyère on bass, Marion Fretigny on percussion, and Ronan Yvin on trombone
Geneva Camerata
Innovative and eclectic, the Geneva Camerata orchestra is recognized worldwide for its projects that push the boundaries of what is possible and transcend traditional boundaries. Through multidisciplinary performances blending music, dance, and theater, it creates surprising encounters between genres, ranging from classical to jazz, including baroque, contemporary, rock, rap, electronic, and world music.
Diamanda Callas
Diamanda Callas speaks her mind and invents her own words. A resident performer at the Madame Arthur cabaret in Paris, she channels her jazz-goth vocals and cartoon-like glamour into a macabre and biting brand of humor. Her lyrical and somber outbursts reconcile the princess and the witch, and her romantic yet faded world evokes the melancholy of Paris.
10:30 pm – 12:00 am
CABARET DIAMANDA CALLAS & CO
Diamanda Callas and her friends are coming down from Montmartre to enchant Geneva.
The quirky characters of the Parisian scene take the stage to present an electrifying and irreverent cabaret. Blending punk humor with cartoon-style glamour, a handful of Montmartre queens come down from the Butte to sing about lost loves, overpriced clothes, and rainy days… A funny drag show that reimagines—accompanied by live piano and without lip-syncing—the hits of international pop and classic French-language songs.
12:00 am – 06:00 am
