NonnaMia! - Etta D'Elia&The Italian Jazz Band

Show 1pm Remember the songs Nonna used to sing? Now they swing! Italian classics get a lively jazz makeover in NonnaMia!, featuring Etta D’Elia’s beautiful voice and the irresistible groove of her Italian Jazz Band. Sing along to Bella Ciao, sway to Mambo Italiano and join in with a big “Oh, Oh!” when Volare comes around. Along the way, Etta shares the funny, touching and sometimes surprising stories of Italian women who came to Australia — their adventures, family life, struggles and unforgettable moments. Perfect for a day out with your Nonna, or anyone who loves Italian music and culture. Sip a glass of vino, enjoy a nice pizza (but no pineapple if you don’t want Nonna getting mad!), sing and laugh with us. Bring Nonna to The Ellington… Mamma Mia!
