A little sparrow too
As promised yesterday, I present to you Naomi Emmerson as Édith Piaf. Actor, singer, dancer, director, designer, Naomi was born in Montreal, Canada and lives in New York City, and has been touring Piaf: Love Conquers All for several years now. The play has "The Little Sparrow" chatting with the audience in English, reminiscing about her singing, the music, the men in her life. To highlight certain experiences, she then sings—thirteen songs in the original French. You may have noticed the piano in yesterday's photo. That was for the pianist who accompanied Naomi in the songs. Here in Manila, the pianist was Carmela Buencamino-Sinco, a Filipino who is also based in New York City. Piaf's life seems to be as poignant as her songs. Now I want to watch La Môme.

How fun - interactive theater!

We want a song on your blog
Edith Piaf had such a tumultuous life. If you haven't seen the recent movie La Mome you really ought to. It was wonderful.
Looks like this was a good show too! I love hearing live singers.
That's a lovely portrait - she looks like she's really enjoying what she's doing.
Thank You for this post...
I'm french, and I love Edith Piaf...
Thank You...
This must have been a fantastic show. I love Edit Piaf.
Beautiful set and an Edith Piaf 'tribute' sounds like the making of a wonderful show.
from the photo, i can see her passion in doing it.
The minute I start reading your post I was wondering if you have watched 'La vie en rose' (La Môme) and I got the answer at the end. :-)
I love Edith Piaf's La Vie En Rose! Sounds like you enjoyed this performance.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Have a great weekend!

I, Woman
did you enjoy la vien rose?
I'd adore to see this actress playing Piaf and yes, I'd love to see La Mome too. You've really captured a special moment in this photograph.
Interesting report. I have watched La Mome and loved it. Marion Cotillard certainly deserved her Oscar for best actress. I was surprised she won because usually the Academy, being so parochial, picks a Brit or American.
What a grace!
