Nadia Piave and Gino Pengue

Soprano Nadia Piave is dishing up an exotic mix of songs from Naples, Nantes and North Africa that may well have you asking her to ‘play it again’….

Nadia Piave is Our Italian Girl in Algiers. It’s the day after Italian National Day, and things are strange in Algiers….

Join Nadia Piave – chanteuse (…a le chartreuse perhaps?) and guitarist Gino Pengue  for an evening of Neapolitan Love songs, French Cafe songs, North African folk songs, Italian pop songs, Exotic Jazz Standards….and all on a sleepy Sunday in Marrickville.

Hear what happens when Nadia Piave gets a call to perform at Sydney’s iconic Django Bar with just an old movie, an old opera score and a mysterious old bottle of something in her kitchen from which to draw inspiration – and as always Gino’s comin’ along for the ride too!

The Italian Girl in Algiers – a musical tagine where Pepe le Moko meets Casablanca and they both meet Rossini for cocktails!

Tickets: $25 plus booking fee
