Noria Letts

"The voice of French jazz in Australia ... magnificent artistry" AustralianJazz.net

Acclaimed French chanteuse Noria Letts brings back the songs of Piaf to the stage and takes her audience on a journey from Paris' gritty back streets to the nightclubs of the Champs-Elysées and Broadway.

Piaf's songs of love, tragedy and fate are already modern classics. Noria's rich, powerful and authentic voice carries the show that delights with likes of Non, je ne regrette rien, La vie en rose, Hymne a l'amour, Sous le ciel de Paris and host of other beloved and often rare chansons from the Piaf songbook.

The show is woven together with Noria's original and poignant narration of the diva's extraordinary life and the stories behind the songs.

Noria has performed widely from her native France, through NYC and Canada.

She was also recently honoured to perform La Marseillaise to a capacity Marvel Stadium and a global TV audience before the Matildas-France football international.

Backing Noria are the Parisians featuring some of the nation's finest musicians Peter Baylor (guitar) Dave Evans (accordion), Nick Haywood (bass) and Phil Collings (drums).
