Vocalist Onalea makes her 54 Below debut with The End of the World Cabaret on Wednesday, February 26 at 7 PM, joined by her quartet of world-class musicians.
What music would you hear if it were truly the end of the world she asks. The performer presents an evening that brings together the smoky allure of Berlin’s Weimar cabarets, the romance of Parisian salons, and the intimacy of New York’s underground venues. It’s a journey through love, loss and life’s grand finale reimagining jazz standards, theatre classics and contemporary ballads, including “La Vie En Rose,” “Cabaret,” and “If The World Was Ending.” The quartet performs arrangements by the love of her life, Emmy Award-winning producer Dave Pierce.
Onalea is an international artist who performs with symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, in jazz concerts and original theatrical song-cycles. She’s known in New York City for her performances as Hecate in Sleep No More and her vintage cabarets at the McKitrick Hotel’s Manderley Bar. Onalea’s voice has been compared to legendary figures such as Peggy Lee, Judy Garland, and Amy Winehouse as she presents a fusion of jazz, swing and pop styles.
