THE TIGER LILLIES

A Tribute (of sorts) to Monteverdi

With Concerto Caledonia and Keith Lewis

Wicked purveyors of black comedy, cult London vaudeville trio The Tiger Lillies take Monteverdi as an inspiration and run amok with him. Teaming up with Concerto Caledonia, The Tiger Lillies bring their unique perspective to the party, looking at Monteverdi’s music upside down and sideways. They have delighted and shocked audiences around the world with their slick, dark cabaret style, deranged comic madness and brazen theatrics. They have also impressed and surprised with the junk-opera Shockheaded Peter, which won them an Olivier Award. Their album The Gorey End inspired by the artist Edward Gorey and recorded with the Kronos Quartet, was also nominated for a Grammy.

What the critics say:

‘A Tiger Lillies gig is a journey into wild emotion that passes right through melodrama and out the other side into bizarre beauty.’
- THE EVENING STANDARD

‘In an ideal world, the Tiger Lillies would represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest.’
- THE TIMES
