The Bohém Ragtime Jazz Band and Viktória Vizin La femme fatale, a unique journey through the Hungarian and American jazz hits of the '30s and '40s

"La femme fatale” comes to life with the help of the biggest hits from the Jazz Age of the 1920s and 1930s in a journey in time that is almost a work of theatre in itself. The special guest of Kecskemét's Bohém Ragtime Jazz Band is singer Viktória Vizin, who is just as at home on the opera stages of Los Angeles, the Metropolitan and Covent Garden as she is in the genres of jazz and chanson. She is also superbly equipped to portray the character of the femme fatale; whether loving men passionatel...y or demoniacally trampling them into the dust, she cannot ever live without them. Men cannot live without her either, and even the audience is guaranteed to fall for this femme fatale as her captivating presence emerges through two hour-long sets of authentic but newly arranged Hungarian and American jazz standards drawing from the repertoires of Katalin Karády, Kató Fényes, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and other great female singers of the past.
