La Belle Rose Cabaret Evening Program
Reminiscent of Parisian cabaret of the 18th Century….where artists would gather share their art-form, philosophies, literature, laughter and love. Even the cuisine is modelled on the way the French dined in those periods. Furthermore it was a French magician Robert Houdin in 1851 who modernised magic by taking it off the streets and into cabaret and music hall venues. So leave your analytical mind behind and enjoy this cultural journey back in time and as the French say, joie de vivre (joy of living)
