Dalida, an icon who remains timelessly contemporary

Dalida has never truly gone away. Her voice, her songs, her iconic looks and her spirit of freedom continue to transcend the ages and captivate every generation.
With DALIDA IN PARADISCO, her legacy will return to the stage in a contemporary production, conceived as a grand, popular celebration to relive a joyful era.

‘Dalida is a figure in the world of entertainment all in her own right. There is the glamour, the festivities and the songs that everyone knows, but also Yolanda, her moments of vertigo, her wounds and her immense love. With DALIDA IN PARADISCO, I want to tell the story of Dalida’s life as a dreamlike disco odyssey, where the audience can sing, dance and feel the energy, but also be deeply moved. A huge, popular celebration to honour the life of this icon, who remains an essential and resolutely contemporary figure.” Thomas Jolly

“As a witness to her story and the guardian of her memory, I look after DALIDA in the present; that’s why she feels so very much alive. I chose Thomas Jolly for his creativity; I love his talent and his madness.” Orlando
