2013 SCIRT WORLD BUSKERS FESTIVAL favourite, Le Gateau Chocolat, returns to Christchurch with a brand new glittery masterpiece – I HEART CHOCOLAT.
Get up close and personal with the outrageous, lycra-clad, opera loving extravaganza that is Le Gateau Chocolat. Join Gateau and his live band in an intimate evening of decadent indulgence, sure to treat all of your senses with opera, musical theatre, jazz and maybe even some rap.
This is an exclusive party featuring a delectable handpicked selection of musical arrangements that are as random as a box of chocolates...you never know what you’re going to get! But you can guarantee his infectious energy and gargantuan voice will satisfy your festival tastebuds.
From Glyndebourne Opera to singing for the Queen as part of the Jubilee Flotilla and touring the globe with La Soiree; to performing at the Sydney Opera House, joining Basement Jaxx at the Barbican and winning Time Out’s Alternative Eurovision; Le Gateau has delighted them all!
Experience the sensation of this Nigerian-born London-boy with a law degree, unsuspecting mother and big heart, who against all odds, discovered opera, drag... and just the right amount of ass-holism.
This is a bold, boundless and breath-taking performance not to be missed!
A cabaret masterpiece… a fabulously crude, sequin embellished evening of indulgence.”
“The talent that oozes from this baritone is like caramel from the centre of a chocolate bar.” METRO (UK)
“A baritone voice that makes the earth shake. Formidably surreal… A true original.”
