Let’s Misbehave - The Essential Cole Porter Songbook

About the show

“He was the wittiest of all the great American pop composers.” 

– Washington Post on Cole Porter

One of the 20th Century’s songwriting geniuses, Cole Porter was the toast of Broadway and Hollywood. Composer of the hit musicals Anything Goes, Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can, Silk Stockings and High Society, he epitomised the wit, charm, elegance and sophistication of an era. Following a sold out performance a Dublin’s National Concert Hall, singer Stella Bass and pianist Niall Kinsella invite you to sit back and revel in an afternoon of song that’s guaranteed to be de-lightful, de-licious, de-lovely!

Acclaimed Irish jazz vocalist Stella Bass has earned praise for her interpretations of the Great American Songbook, has headlined several times at the Cork Jazz Festival and performs regularly at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. Conductor and pianist Niall Kinsella is no stranger to Irish audiences through his sold-out concerts of Golden Age Hollywood and Broadway musicals with orchestras.
