ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL

the AU interview: José Carbó (Sydney)

Internationally renowned baritone José Carbó is teaming up with the amazingly talented Slava and Leonard Grigoriyan in presenting My Latin Heart at the 2013 Adelaide Cabaret Festival. A celebration of the vibrancy and passion existing within Latin culture, the show is set to be a highlight of the festival's programme. Carbó takes some time to answer some questions about the show!

the AU interview: Lara Goodridge of Baby Et Lulu (Sydney)

Another act set to appear at this year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival is Sydney's Baby Et Lulu. A musical partnership between talented and respected songstresses Abby Dobson and Lara Goodridge, Baby Et Lulu is going to take the audiences on a French journey, covering songs by the great French songwriters of the 20th century. Goodridge tells me about the show, working with Dobson and why it's French in particular that turns her on so...

the AU interview: Martha Wainwright (New York)

One of the highlights on this year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival would have to be the show that Martha Wainwright is bringing through. Her new album Come Home To Mama shows the performer divulging more personal emotions and stories than we've perhaps seen from her before and it's these stories she'll be bringing to life in Adelaide (and further across the country) in June. Wainwright talks to me about the making of the album, her mother's death and the impact that had on proceedings - turning pain into music.

Live Review: Lea Salonga - Adelaide Festival Theatre, Adelaide (10.06.12)

Lea Salonga is many things. She’s a wife, mother, musical theatre queen and Disney Princess. Winner of a Tony, Olivier and Disney Legend award (amongst others), Salonga is in Adelaide for a special run of shows which showcased songs from her illustrious career, and I was incredibly grateful I’d managed to score some tickets to her final show.

Live Review: The Snowdroppers - Space Theatre, Adelaide (08.06.12)

The opening night of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival brought so much glitz and glamour to the Adelaide Festival Centre; it was hard to pick the celebrities and performers from the rest of us schmoozing about in our finest. Following a walk down the red carpet and more than a few pre-show wines at the bar during happy hour, I and many others gathered in the Space Theatre for the first show of our time at the festival.

The 2012 Adelaide Cabaret Festival Kicks Off Tonight!

the AU interview: Nadeah (Melbourne)

If you’re in the market for some beguiling orchestrated pop, folk and somewhat extravagant and psychedelic trickery, then well travelled Melbourne girl Nadeah is your fix.

Australian born singer/songwriter Nadeah Miranda was the centrepiece of UK cult rockers, the LoveGods. Due to her mesmerising stage presence she was later scouted by the French super group Nouvelle Vague.
