Biographer Carolyn Burke brings the legendary French chanteuse, Edith Piaf, to life. Raised by turns in a brothel, a circus caravan and a working-class Paris neighbourhood, Piaf began singing on the city’s streets and was discovered by a Champs-Élysées cabaret owner before becoming an overnight star, seducing the Paris elite and the people of its slums in equal measure with her passionate, powerful voice. She had tumultuous love affairs, struggles with drugs, alcohol, and illness, and took part in the Resistance.
Join Carolyn for a journey through Piaf’s life, music and Paris in the first half of the 20th century.
Chair: Carole Beu.
