Celtic Connections' PIAF! THE SHOW Set for Theatre Royal Glasgow
With over 100 sellout shows across three continents, Piaf! - part-inspired by 2007's Oscar-winning biopic, also called La Vie En Rose - has deservedly made a star of Anne Carrere, who conjures an uncanny reincarnation of its subject across two acts, charting Piaf's rags-to-riches trajectory from the streets of Pigalle to the world's top stages.
"There is only one Edith Piaf," says singer Anne Carrere. "She had a very strong life with a lot of love and also a lot of tragedy. This has been an incredible role to prepare for and now we have performed it over 100 times in 23 countries. It is a great honor to play this role and I can't wait to bring it to Celtic Connections in January."
Carrere performs with a superb four-piece band, while atmospheric backdrop projections, including previously unseen photographs, depict Piaf amid the Paris of her day.
