LA VIE EN ROSE - Special concert on 110 years of Edith Piaf

Chanson is one of the most important genres when it comes to city-related music and Edith Piaf is probably one of the outstanding representatives of the classical chanson era. Hardly anyone else today can interpret and embody the star as convincingly as singer and actress Vasiliki Roussi.

The program is a scenic, musical journey through the life of the exceptional artist born on December 19, 1915, whose life was more dramatic than anything she could have sung.
An artist who made the incredible path out of the gutter into the Olympus of legends, but was never able to shake off the shadow of misery. Vasiliki Roussi guides you through this life, interpreting both the big chansons and lesser-known numbers.

“Little Roussi doesn't play little Piaf, she does it in gestures, facial expressions and voice. It shows just that timbre that Piaf still seems to have in your ear. ”

“She has the big voice with the color and tremolo of the Piaf and its radiance of self-consumption — infinitely touching because it exudes feelings that reach all generations. Roussi's presence is so great that she can spend the evening alone. ”
