The Greek Goddess of Song Nana Mouskouri
Returns to St. John’s for her final Atlantic Canada Performance
Nana Mouskouri possesses one of the most beautiful voices of our lifetime. She is one of the most successful singers in history, selling more recordings than any other female artist.
Nana has collected an astonishing 350 Diamond, Platinum, and Gold recordings from around the world. And for one last time she will be performing in St. John’s at the Mile One Centre on Wednesday June 6, 2007 at 8:00pm.
Tickets at $55.50 (taxes in but excluding service charges) go on sale this Friday March 16, 2007 at 10:00am
To millions of adoring fans, there is a special connection with “the Greek goddess of song”. She is one of the most respected pop singers, by other singers as well. From Bob Dylan to Harry Belafonte, Nana’s fan club includes some of pop music’s most legendary performers. And now after forty years of traveling the world performing to adoring audiences, Nana says farewell to Canada.
For her fans, one more concert, one last song, one last chance to share the experience of a Nana Mouskouri performance. For Nana, it is one last chance to command the stage and connect with her fans that she loves so well. It’s truly an equal love affair; perhaps that is the reason this goodbye is so hard for her fans and for Nana.
The first leg of her farewell tour took Nana through Europe. Fans devoured the tickets for these concerts as soon as they went on sale. Each night after two and a half hours of music, the audience rushed the stage trying to get as close as they could to Nana. There are no guards to keep a barrier between the star and her audience. Quite to the contrary, Nana relishes the opportunity to be that close. Nana’s farewell performances in Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East met with the same complete adoration.
But in Nana’s mind Canada is a very special place, almost like a second home. In Nana’s words “Year after year I looked forward to my tours in Canada. One year the west and the next year the east. I will miss Canada, the wonderful people and the beautiful cities.”
First and foremost, Nana Mouskouri loves to sing; she loves the connection she shares with her audience. Nana and her fans share a common bond that fulfills them both. So why give up touring? Simply Nana says the time has come. Yet there is no sadness in the singer’s eyes. She loves performing every night, and the audience leaves even more in love with Nana.
When the time came for Nana to plan her farewell tour, Canada was left till after Europe, Asia and Australia. Canada may be the hardest for Nana to say goodbye to. Before the lights go out and the bags are put away, one last concert, one last song, and one more beautiful memory, for those lucky enough to get tickets and of course to see Nana one last time.
