California Stage presents DECEMBER SONGS: A CELEBRATION OF LOVE, LIFE AND THE HOLIDAYS conceived & performed by Grammy nominated artist Angelina Reaux
Soprano/chanteuse Angelina Réaux will perform her concert-cabaret in a five week run at Sacramento’s intimate California Stage. The concert runs from November 27 through December 31, culminating in a special New Year’s Eve cabaret gala.
This luminous soprano "with the velvet and diamonds voice" (VILLAGE VOICE) and "singing actress of the very first rank" (New York Times) is offering up a cornucopia/cabaret set in 1960’s suburbia where she takes us on a musical journey while preparing and recovering from her annual holiday party, singing a cornucopia of American standards and beloved holiday songs. Ms. Reaux will be singing songs of the holiday season, from Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” and Kurt Weills’ “The Saga of Jenny” to Tom Leherer’s “I’m Spending Chanukah in Santa Monica.” Be prepared for any song with the words snow, bell, tree, manger, virgin, love, joy, dreidel, or ding-dong— there's something for everyone! So come and enjoy Angelina Réaux's gift to you— an evening of joy and love, laughter and inspiration.
On December 31st, California Stage presents a New Years Eve Gala Concert entitled: "What are you doing New Years’ Eve?" There will be two shows that evening with one performance at 7:00 p.m. and one at 11:00 p.m.. Champaigne and refreshments are included with the special price of $60.00 a couple, $35.00 an individual.
Ms. Réaux has sung on the stages of opera houses, concert halls, cabarets, and theatres around the world, singing everything from Italian Opera to OKLAHOMA! She has won wide recognition for her performances of French and German Cabaret and "The American Songbook." She has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Masur, Charles Dutoit, John Mauceri, Kent Nagano, Marin, Alsop, and Ned Rorem; worked with Stephen Sondheim, Harold Prince, Stephen Wadsworth, Tony Taccone, Tony Kushner, sung with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, Boston Pops, and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia; and with the Santa Fe Opera, Washington Opera, Houston Grand Opera, and Boston Lyric Opera.
