Janice Hall, internationally renowned opera singer and emerging cabaret artist, is debuting her first solo show, Grand Illusions: The Music of Marlene Dietrich, at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for a five-performance run beginning Wednesday, November 3rd. Additional performances are scheduled for Saturday, November 6th at 4:00 pm; Saturday, November 13th at 4:00 pm; Sunday, November 21st at 4:00 pm; and Monday, December 8th at 9:30 pm. A highly regarded artist in Europe and the U.S, Janice Hall has distinguished herself in opera houses and on the concert stage around the world, including the Vienna State Opera; the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; the Salzburg Festival; and the New York City Opera. Ms. Hall's debut solo show will pay tribute to the life and legend of one of the true icons of the twentieth century. Marlene Dietrich began her career in the fabled cabarets and revues of 1920s Berlin, conquered Hollywood as one of its most beautiful and fascinating stars, took a brave stand as a German against Hitler during World War II, and, later in life, reinvented herself as a cabaret and concert artist. In Grand Illusions, Janice Hall explores the woman and the myth through her music and reinterprets many of Dietrich's famous songs, bringing to them the beauty and distinctive quality of her own voice as well as her considerable dramatic gifts. The show features Berlin cabaret songs, jazz standards, French chansons, folk songs, and, of course, Dietrich's famous film songs. The show features music of Friedrich Hollaender, Cole Porter, Lerner and Loewe, Fats Waller, Robert Stolz, Charles Trenet, and Pete Seeger. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $10 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.copyright 2010 - CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
