PIANO BAR TABOO
Glamour, grit, and a touch of provocation. Singers from the Verbier Festival Academy’s Atelier Lyrique revive songs once celebrated—and later silenced—on stage and screen. With biting wit, lush melodies, and a wink to the past, Piano Bar Taboo takes over South for a bold late-night cabaret that confronts music history head-on.

A daring concert for the Festival’s late-shift as singers of the Verbier Festival Academy’s Atelier Lyrique resurrect songs that history has tried to erase—not to endorse their outdated messages, but to hold them up to the light. In an era of cultural reckoning, what happens to great music when its themes no longer fit modern values? Silence it, or confront it, engage with it, and understand where it came from? Once-cherished tunes from the golden age of Hollywood and Broadway are dusted off for an evening of glorious melodies, razor-sharp lyrics, and stories too bold for today’s stage. With wit, irony, and a deep love for music, this night at the piano bar navigates melodies that teeter on the edge of political correctness—because history, like music, doesn’t just disappear.
