Triple ARIA-winning ensemble Monsieur Camembert (plus very special guest) celebrate Leonard Cohen's extraordinary legacy.

After sold out concerts at City Recital Hall in 2017, 2018 & 2019, Triple ARIA-winning Monsieur Camembert will appear at the Sydney Opera House.

See their critically acclaimed show based on the music and poetry of iconoclastic Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen.

Traversing styles rarely associated with Cohen, including Swing, jazz, tango, Latin, etc, the songs are linked by Cohen's remarkable poetry and prose.

For 14 years, Monsieur Camembert has been touring this ARIA-nominated show, including headlining the prestigious International Leonard Cohen Festival in Canada.

For this Sydney Opera House show, the band will be joined by an incredible lineup of guests including:

• Abby Dobson - voice

• Gregg Arthur - voice

• Angela Fabian - voice

• Susie Bishop - voice, violin

• Bukhu Ganburged - horsehair fiddle, voice

• Anatoli Torjinski - cello

• Victor Valdes - Mexican harp

'Monsieur Camembert simultaneously generates fresh perspectives on Cohen's astonishing work and exposes deeper truths… a must for Cohen and Camembert fans alike' (John Shand, SMH)

'Here's your cure for received notions/nonsense about Cohen as a byword for gloom! Spirited, musically assured, eclectic and downright fun. They never imitate Cohen, but do right by him, with glee…and sensitivity.' (Doug Spencer, ABC Radio National)

Given the state of the world in 2020, we can think of no better antidote than Leonard Cohen to bring us all together - in the Covid-safe environment of the Sydney Opera House!!!
