MAC Caps February with Streamed "Piaf! The Show" 7 p.m., Feb. 28

The McAninch Arts Center (MAC) presents a streamed performance of “Piaf! The Show” 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28. This multi-media production, recorded at Opéra de Nice, France, is inspired by the life of the legendary Parisian, and features Piaf’s unforgettable songs, complemented by a visual tapestry of photographs and images of famous locations of the Piaf era.

A million tickets have been sold internationally for this tribute to French singer-songwriter, cabaret performer and film actress Édith Piaf. Conceived and directed by Nice-based theater producer Gil Marsalla and starring Anne Carrere in the title role, this cabaret-style show in two acts features many of Piaf’s most memorable songs, including “Padam…Padam,” “Hymne a l’Amour” and “Non, Je ne Regrette Rien,” arranged to reflect Piaf’s life, from street performer to international star. “She died in 1963 but, more than 100 years since her birth, Édith Piaf lives,” raves The Guardian.

“Piaf! The Show” producer Marsalla first met Carrere in 2014, when she auditioned for another of his productions, “Paris! The Show.” Impressed by her voice and captivated by her personality, Marsalla decided to showcase Carrere in “Piaf! The Show,” created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Piaf’s birth. The 2017 Carnegie Hall performance coincided with the 60th Anniversary of Piaf's own legendary Carnegie Hall appearance.
