After massive, critically acclaimed sold-out shows at Sydney’s City Recital Hall in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the Sydney Opera House in 2020, Monsieur Camembert returns for the first time in four years with its all-star, blockbuster show celebrating the life, music, poetry of the iconic Canadian poet songwriter.
Drawing on material that spans 35 years, Monsieur Camembert's entirely original interpretations traverse styles rarely (if ever) associated with Cohen, including swing, jazz, tango, Latin, klezmer and more. Linking the songs with Cohen's remarkable poetry and prose, the show also features audio fragments of Cohen himself.
For 26 years, Sydney’s three-time ARIA-award-winning band Monsieur Camembert has been performing and touring its joyful, wild and wonderful repertoire, playing capacity concert halls nationally and internationally, including headlining the International Leonard Cohen Festival in Canada.
