Born in the United States, Madeleine Peyroux is a jazz singer and guitarist with an unclassifiable style and an exceptional artistic personality, carried by a voice that is both soft and husky, with blues and folk accents. After spending part of her childhood in the United States, she moved to France as a teenager where she joined her first jazz bands. An atypical artist, she performs a lot in the street while participating in festivals and creating her own albums. In 2004, she had an international success with Careless Love. Other albums have been released since, including the recent Anthem (2018), the title of which is taken from a Leonard Cohen song.

Ghost Light John Neumeier (Choreography) Franz Schubert (Music) Hamburg Ballet David Fray, piano Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, 2020 TV director, Myriam Hoyer A Ghost Light - a single lamp that illuminates the stage when rehearsals or performances are finished - is part of a long theatrical tradition. Legend says that originally, the night light was for the ghosts of former artists so that they may cavort throughout the night and not disturb or disrupt current performances! At this very moment, because of the pandemic, countless stages, particularly in America, are illuminated by Ghost Lights. The Hamburg Ballet was one of the first ballet companies internationally to return to its studios after the first lockdown. Observing a strict hygiene concept, John Neumeier created 'Ghost Light', a new full-length ballet, for his entire ensemble of 55 dancers. The ballet Ghost Light deals with isolation and the feelings and fantasies an empty stage may evoke.
