Tuesday March 2nd 2010 saw the gala launch of the much anticipated Casablanca Nights - undoubtedly the classiest jazz event Sydney has seen for some time. NOTES was transformed into an international jazz venue as audiences displayed the elegance of modern day celebrities - all dressed up and eager to walk the red carpet into the venue as they were greeted by Casablanca Nights own in-house paparazzi. With patrons being escorted from the red carpet to their tables by the evenings hostess, it didn’t take long for the atmosphere to build into what was clearly destined to be a great night out!
Tuesday 13th April sees the second in a series of Casablanca Nights showcasing a stunning array of local talent. Featuring a set from Evelyn Duprai with Gary Holgate, Peter Drummond and Joseph Calderazzo; with guest performances from Natasha Stuart and Anthea White; plus our special guest pianist for the evening, Sean McKenzie.
Ladies, maybe you have a dress that’s been sitting in the wardrobe waiting for another special occasion? Gents, perhaps you have a suit that you bought for an event that now doesn’t get to see the light of day?
Casablanca Nights is your opportunity to dress up for a night if you like, or come straight from the office for an early show and a divine menu guaranteed to tantalise your tastebuds. Perhaps you’d prefer to sit and have a cocktail with friends as you listen to familiar tunes that will transport you back in time.
Get ready for a musical escapade back to the culture of the jazz clubs that were once home to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra.
No longer do you need to ask, “Where can I go to have dinner and listen to some good jazz music?”
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Casablanca Nights!
