Magical Musical Memories

It was written in the stars. After their tributes to Kurt Weill and Charles Aznavour, Lissa Meyvis and Hans Peter dive into the musical repertoire because that, too, is about what they love doing so much: telling stories. Hans Peter selects the obvious classics plus a series of gems that make us dream of a time when musicals could still be admired on television every week, sometimes in black and white. The best from Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, My Fair Lady, Rembrandt, Porgy & Bess, Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, Mary Poppins, Kiss Me Kate, Annie Get Your Gun, The Wizard of Oz, Shall We Dance, There’s No Business Like Show Business, Gigi, The Fantasticks, Call Me Madam... Hans Peter Janssens Musical actor and legend, needs little introduction. After his training at the Conservatoria van Brugge and Ghent, he studied in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. He then strung together title roles in famous musicals, such as Les Misérables, Sweeney Todd, and The Phantom of the Opera. He was the first Belgian ever to perform in the Palace Theater on West End. Lissa Meyvis Master of classical singing magna cum laude, is passionate about opera, but loves the American songbook, French chanson, and jazzy tunes just as much. Lissa sings Mozart & Toon Hermans, Brel & Bach, Carpenters & Schubert in one breath. Lissa caused a sensation with 115 performances of In the Shadow of Toon Hermans, is the hostess of the popular Sunday bel canto program Bellissama, and a founding member of Ode an die Freunde. http://www.magicalmuscialmemories.be
