BBC Contains Strong Language: Camille O'Sullivan
Event Information
About this event
Irish/French musician, vocalist and actress, Camille O’Sullivan enjoys a formidable international reputation for her intensely dramatic interpretations of the songs of Brel, Cave, Waits, Bowie and more.
Dubbed ‘Queen of the Edinburgh Festival’ (BBC) and the original star of Olivier award-winning LaClique, the multi-award-winning singer has stunned audiences around the world with her sell-out performances including Sydney Opera House, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and on Later with Jools Holland. She recently won the coveted Herald Angel award for her RSC solo performance The Rape of Lucrece.
Dark, sexy, fierce, amusing and mesmerising, Camille transforms each song she performs into an intense, emotional and theatrical experience, inextricably drawing her audience into a world illuminated by the dark and the light. Expect joy and pure passion.
"When she sings it's as though her breath is soaked in paraffin - one spark, and the whole room would ignite." ***** Daily Telegraph
