Act One
My Leonard Cohen
Performed by Stewart D'Arrietta & His Band
Following a sold-out show in 2024, Stewart D’Arrietta and his band will bring his rousing celebration of the late legendary Leonard Cohen’s best-loved music, poetry and sories of his life to Pavilion Theatre's stage once more.. This show has previously played to packed rooms at Sydney Opera House and Edinburgh Fringe.
World-class musicians offer gutsy and imaginative arrangements of the great singer-songwriter’s most powerful works, driven by D’Arrietta’s raw vocals. This is Cohen’s music as you’ve never heard it before.
The classic Tower of Song, sensual I’m Your Man and anthemic Hallelujah are just a few of the Cohen favourites given the D’Arrietta treatment. New Songs for 2026 include the heartrending In My Secret Life, kaleidoscopic Closing Time and menacing The Future.
D’Arrietta has enjoyed a long career as a performer, composer and music director, performing in venues across the globe from New York to Tokyo. D’Arrietta on piano is joined by a live band of celebrated international musicians.
