Buona Sera Signorina: Italian Music Meets Jazz
In a humorous melange of Italian music and jazz, Italian-born vocalist Etta D’Elia and her jazz band will lead you through a night of Italian music, culture, and good times. “This is a show where I explain a lot of curiosities about Italian culture through our songs,” Etta says, promising a Guided Tour of lesser-known treasures (Raffaella Carrá, D. Rettore, F. Concato) as well as revisiting universally-loved songs by Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Ennio Morricone, Domenico Modugno and more. Fresh from her sold-out debut at the Ellington Jazz Club, this witty Signorina will bring a slice of a Roman Holiday to FRINGE WORLD 2023. Park your Vespas outside the Courtyard of the State Theatre Centre, and relive once again La Dolce Vita...You’ll walk in a dream but know you’re not dreaming…signore!
Presented by: Antonietta (Etta) D`Elia
An accomplished jazz vocalist with a unique talent for song interpretation Etta D’Elia has made an indelible impression in Perth in the decade since she moved here from her native Italy. By the age of six, Etta was taking piano lessons, a dedication to a craft that was complemented by her enrolment at The Conservatorio to learn Voice followed by a Master’s Degree in Music Education.
Etta was honored to sing two times at the Vatican in Rome, both the times being broadcast live on RAI1 Television.
Etta has pursued jazz performances all around WA in venues such as The Crown, Pan Pacific, Ritz Carlton, The Ellington Jazz Club, Duke Of George, The Volstead Lounge, and more. In 2014, Etta was a soloist at Perth Concert Hall and in 2018 she performed live for Telethon on Channel 9.
