Vagabond Opera brings cabaret to World Cafe Live, July 27th  |
| |
1920's European Cabaret! Balkan Bellydance! Vintage Americana! Opera, Modern and Old World! Yiddish Theater! Welcome to the six-piece, Portland, OR based Vagabond Opera! Coming to Philadelphia for the first time, this internationally acclaimed sextet will bring their highly theatrical mix of eclectic music to World Cafe Live - sung in 15 languages, with top hats, gypsy-tinged burlesque and flair.
"These neo-cabaret fire starters roll out a rabble-rousing vision of globalization, 1920s-style!” –SF Bay Guardian
“This sextet has fine voices, unbelievable musical chops and a huge and humorous stage presence. They know how to dress, how to make an entrance and how to craft an instantly hummable tune.” -- Seattle Times

About Vagabond Opera
Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera is described by the Washington Post as “A band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic.” The group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera--lusty voices singing in 15 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!
Vagabond Opera is at the vanguard of a growing popularity in the Neo-cabaret phenomenon, and through their theatrical performances and eclectic repertoire, they liberate opera from its usual construct, expanding musical and theatrical biodiversity. The May 2009 release of The Zeitgeist Beckons marks the third full-length release from the band to date. The ensemble recently premiered their first full length opera "Queen of Knives" in May 2010. Vagabond Opera has performed across the USA and in Europe, is played regularly on NPR and has shared stages and players with Pink Martini, Devotchka, The Decembrists, and the Oregon Symphony, proving their easy crossover appeal.
The band's lineup features trained operatic tenor and soprano vocals, accordion, tenor saxophone and clarinet, two cellos, stand-up bass and drums.
