Piera Dennerstein is set to make her Newcastle debut with her award-winning solo cabaret Pursuing Pleasure at the Royal Exchange Salon Theatre in Newcastle.
Known for her stunning vocal versatility and compelling stage presence, Piera brings a deeply personal and thought-provoking performance to audiences eager for a cabaret experience that blends humour, sensuality, and raw honesty.
A former opera singer who transitioned into cabaret, she uses her voice to explore a spectrum of musical styles, from Puccini to Cardi B.
Through storytelling and song, she shares her journey of self-discovery, resilience, and healing after leaving the opera industry and overcoming personal trauma.
With direction from Olivia Charalambous and dramaturgy by Melbourne Fringe living legend Moira Finucane, Pursuing Pleasure aims to break down barriers between high and low art.
Audiences can expect a mix of laughter, introspection, and awe as she navigates themes of rejection, oppression, and self-acceptance with a voice that has captivated crowds from rural China to Kalgoorlie.
Pursuing Pleasure will run from March 28 to 30, 2025 at the Royal Exchange Salon Theatre in Newcastle as part of the Newcastle Fringe Festival. Grab your tickets and find out more by heading to newcastlefringe.com.au.
