Romance – a musical theatre performance about love

A carousel ride through Paris—from longing and euphoria to broken hearts and collapse. Wednesday 9 December, 19:00, Allas Hus Borgunda.

“Olivia Stevens’s voice goes straight through your skin… and her stage presence makes you realise you are more or less holding your breath.”

The international music-theatre success Romance is an entertaining performance featuring hilarious stories about love and songs by some of the most famous French singers of all time. It transports the audience to Paris, where they are invited in by French icons such as Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf. Olivia’s dynamic stage presence, together with Bjarne Löwdin on accordion, leads you along the illuminated lanes of Paris and through Charles Aznavour’s songs about Pigalle, Edith Piaf’s tribute to love in “Hymne à l’Amour”, and Jacques Brel’s song “Du får inte gå”. An inspiring and overwhelming musical carousel ride, completely free of inhibitions and logic—by turns soft and sensual, wild and playful. A performance that embraces the audience and makes everyday problems disappear.

Olivia Stevens embraces Lilla Paris with affection, her sweet voice and wonderful presence. She wears a romantically styled red dress, holds a red rose and has a warm smile on her lips.

The chansons are performed in French and in new Swedish and English translations.
