Maria Tecce - Strapless
Maria Tecce's vibrant new show is a smouldering night of song steeped in raw sensuality, elegance, and Spanish spice. The music of Eartha Kitt, Nina Simone, Johnny Cash and Led Zeppelin meets sizzling Argentinean tango, all served up in Tecce's fiery, visually stunning style. Strapless combines powerful vocals and the command of a leading actress with an electric stage presence that continues to bolster Tecce's burgeoning reputation. This performance has been designed especially for the Festival and has wowed audiences in Edinburgh, Boston, Dubrovnik and New York in advance of its Irish premiére at the Festival Club.
