Piaf! The Show

The haunting songs of cabaret singer of the 40s and 50s Edith Piaf are immediately recognisable. Now, those songs, along with her heartbreaking story, will be heard in Wellington. The Opera House hosts Piaf! The Show in May 2025. The show chronicles the rags to riches story of Edith Piaf. It showcases her unforgettable songs against a backdrop of never-before-seen photographs. Internationally acclaimed singer Nathalie Lermitte has been hailed as Piaf’s true musical heir. She will recreate songs like ‘La vie en Rose’ and ‘Non, Je ne Regrette Rien’, ‘Milord’, and many others. 

Tiny in stature, the French songstress had a big voice. Edith’s performances captured the essence of what it was to be French. This tribute concert is part of a larger tour celebrating the 110th anniversary of Edith’s birth. It’s captivated audiences in more than 50 countries and has sold over a million tickets worldwide.
