What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews and 5 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Vanosi is a born performer – you just have to see her deliver a song to realise that’s she’s telling a story as much as singing to her audience.
Many consider Edinburgh to be quite a European city and this seems never more so than during the Edinburgh festivals’ month of August.
Anna Vanosi, accompanied by David Patrick on piano and Andy Mitchell on double bass, takes us through a gorgeous repertoire of both Italian and English music.
