A disco queen who sang in 12 languages and still broke your heart in every single one.
Beyond her enormous stage presence, Dalida (1933-1987) was an exceptional musical phenomenon: she was convincing in the most diverse genres, from chanson to disco to world music and Schlager, and sang in a total of twelve languages. Like hardly any other artist, she adapted to her respective audience and was thus able to achieve worldwide popularity. This show revisits her greatest hits and thus becomes a musical border crossing and voyage of discovery that will bring us closer to Dalida in all her musical and linguistic facets for the first time.
