Pallace Theatre - 24.10.23

Based on the well-known and beloved songs of the great artist Dalida, the director of hits George Valaris creates and presents a contemporary "Dalida", the sensual performer Olga Veneti, in an original musical-theatrical composition on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at Pallas Theatre. "Dalida – La Diva" is a blockbuster, an ode to the mythical woman who marked her time with her rich and timeless work and continues to captivate audiences with her fictional life.

The thread of the life and course of the great Dalida unfolds through the well-known and classic songs (Paroles Paroles, Malade, Gigi In Paradisco, etc.) and the texts signed by George Valaris -based on her life- which deal with dominant themes of human existence, love, love, despair and death. A modern visual-audiovisual spectacle, with great contributors and a troupe of actors and dancers accompanying the performer Olga Veneti, on the impressive stage of Pallas Theatre.

Dalida was one of the most beloved and successful singers of the 20th century, as one of the greatest representatives of the Francophonie. With her unique voice and explosive presence on stage, she managed to conquer the hearts of audiences around the world. He recorded many songs in many languages, including French, Italian, Greek, Spanish and English.

However, behind the glow of her professional life, Dalida faced personal difficulties and suffered from depression. In 1987, a year after the suicide of her dear friend, she herself died, leaving behind an indelible influence on the world of music. Dalida remains an unforgettable talent and her music continues to inspire and touch the hearts of listeners around the world.
