Maya Hakvoort in Concert

The grande dame of Austrian musicals, Maya Hakvoort, celebrates the work of a congenial predecessor with this very personal concert evening: the producer, director, Drehbuchautorin, actress, songwriter and gifted singer Barbra Streisand. The program presents the entire diversity of the great icon's musical work. "Barbra Streisand and her songs have motivated and inspired me my whole life. I will interpret them with the same level of dedication and perfectionism that she herself shows in her music and at the same time bring my own style and emotions to give the songs my personal touch," says Maya Hakvoort.

She will be accompanied by 17 musicians under the direction of Jeff Frohner, who is also responsible for the impressive orchestral and banddruarrangements. The program spans a musical arc from 1963 to the present day and includes jazz numbers with great musical passages, film hits such as the song "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born, written by Streisand herself, captivating storytelling melodies by Michel Legrand, as well as pop numbers and well-known duets originally sung by Celine Dion or Donna Summer, Barry Gibb and Neil Diamond. "I have chosen the songs that, for me personally, represent the most beautiful of her entire career. These songs have a special meaning for me, some touch on topics that are close to me and others bring back many memories," says Hakvoort. We look forward to seeing her again at the Tiroler Landestheater.
