About
Opera singer turned curvaceous cabaret cantatrice Piera Dennerstein (Finucane & Smith, Blue is the Colour Midsumma 2022) shares the intimate truths of her body and mind in this sexy, silly and deeply human show.
Using the exceptional versatility of her voice in everything from Puccini to Cardi B, Piera tells the story, with humour, sincerity and hope, of her experiences forming her values and beliefs as she recovered from the toxicity of the opera industry and domestic abuse.
With dramaturgy by Melbourne Fringe Living Legend Moira Finucane, direction by cabaret world-maker Olivia Charalambous and with long-time ensemble partner Pamela Christie on piano, this deeply personal work boldly continues Piera’s dramatic aims of blurring the boundary between high and low art and cultivating a shared humanity.
Returning to The Round after a successfull Midsumma Residency program in 2024, Piera hopes to provide those who have survived rejection and oppression an opportunity to feel seen, find hope, and have a much-deserved giggle.
