WIN 1 of 2 double passes to Caroline Nin in Melbourne
Caroline Nin cuts a striking figure on stage.
Poised in black heels, her feet are connected to the stage with an electric purpose and power. “Independent, spoilt and free,” was how she described herself in a previous interview with MyFrenchLife™.
Three years after this interview took place, it seems that Nin is still embracing her free spirit, finding great success.
Sell out shows at the Sydney Opera House, London’s Royal Festival Hall and The Famous Spiegletent at the Edinburgh Festival are but the beginning. She has performed in New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Melbourne and Auckland, and in 2012 earned a Helpmann Award nomination for Best Cabaret Performer.
Carline was born in the Marais quarter in Paris. She started her career in the Paris jazz venue The Hollywood Savoy, singing the songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and, of course, Edith Piaf. She later moved to London and sang in the city’s clubs and bars, until the Alliance Française booked her for tours around England in 1994-5 to promote French culture. She has since travelled the globe; to Asia, Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand.
Caroline and MyFrenchLife™ go way back: she performed at one of our first member soirées in Paris, we’ve interviewed her, and featured many of her concerts, in Australia and Paris.
So we couldn’t help but get excited when we heard she would be back in Melbourne once again! Grace à Caroline, the Melbourne Recital Centre and MyFrenchLife™ we’re offering two lucky members to enjoy her latest musical offering as part of the American Songbook Festival: The Thing About Love.

Close your eyes, and you can pretend you are in Paris!!
It makes a lyrical rhythmical language sound even more appealing! Listening to it makes me want to improve my French – and indeed listening to it improves my French ear.
It’s got so much more heart than English language music. All that soul, turmoil, passion – it’s overwhelming but amazing. Also singing in French sounds so much nicer than English…
“La vie en rose”… enough said,
sung with emotion by Édith Piaf The Great,
moving me deeply through her passion,
sealing our eternal music connection!
