‘Entirely true made-up stories’ is how Andrew Macdonald Smith describes My First Hundred Years, a ‘biographical’ cabaret retrospective. With each note, Andrew transports us into a different world, inviting us to slow down and listen attentively. And it’s not only singing that will engage the imagination. Andrew’s stories - told as if he were there - take us on a journey through time, back to the memorable melodies of the roaring twenties when Kurt Weill, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and others composed on the edges of opera and revolutionized the music industry!  

Edmonton Opera proudly presents this charming cabaret, written by highly acclaimed Edmonton-based talents Andrew Macdonald Smith and Stewart Lemoine, in collaboration with pianist Frances Thielmann. Join us in the intimacy of the Citadel’s Rice Theatre for masterful storytelling and captivating music, an experience that is sure to leave you smiling.
