Ernesto Tomasini: Exaggerata!

Italian singer/comedian Ernesto Tomasini returns to Crazy Coqs with a new collection of vintage international songs that feel surprisingly current. From timeless classics to forgotten gems, the show is a globe-trotting musical adventure. Italian, French, German, Spanish, and American tunes, all delivered with Tomasini’s signature wit and theatrical flair. Hilarious, touching, and musically dazzling. With Ornella Cerniglia once again at the piano.

“Ovations for Ernesto Tomasini – one of the most acclaimed protagonists of the international alternative and queer scenes, boasting a 4-octave range and a more than original performance style – en travesti sings famous songs from the Berlin Kabarett.”
–La Repubblica

“Tomasini, modern Farinelli, singer of extraordinary ability. An important figure in the international arts panorama.
An eclectic personality whose range spaces from cabaret to chamber music, through experimentation, thanks to his 4-octave singing voice. With his vocal performance he gave the show pure magic”
– La Stampa

“Tomasini is the Houdini of the voice, an illusionist capable of singing in the same song as Pavarotti, Farinelli and Callas.
This quick-change artist of the vocal cords pirouettes between notes and trills like Jury Chechi through rings. (…) Accompanied at the piano by a wonderfully dark Ornella Cerniglia, he tells of the decadent years of the first half of the 20th Century. A whimsical show that projects us into an ambiguous and estranging time.”
