Singer Salon | Sewing Machines and Divas
Famous masterpieces were composed for their salons in Venice, Paris, and Bayreuth. Their soirées were described in many novels, such as those by Marcel Proust, and, as magical laboratories, shaped the style of European Art Nouveau and the Années Folles. This vibrant tapestry—spanning three legendary cities, featuring famous divas like Colette and Sarah Bernhardt, and personalities such as Richard Wagner, Ernest Chausson, Gabriel Fauré, Erik Satie, Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, Manuel de Falla, Maurice Ravel, Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, and sounds inspired by the sewing machine—all come to life in “Winnie’s Salon”: a new creation for culture above the rooftops!
