Movies, Memories and Broadway

Barbra Streisand – the singer, the actress, the feminist, the icon. This lavish gala show pays tribute to the multifaceted artist through music and storytelling. At the same time, it warmly embraces an era – the orchestral splendour and grandeur of classic Broadway. 

Enjoy Barbra Streisand’s most beloved songs performed by Lisa Nilsson, Tommy Körberg and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Joakim Hallin. The show is directed by Roine Söderlundh. Musical director Johan Landqvist leads the rhythm section and, together with Joakim Hallin, has also written and adapted many of the orchestral arrangements.

Barbra Streisand has been a lifelong idol for Lisa Nilsson. “First and foremost, I was drawn to her voice and her distinctive way of singing. She became one of the artists I studied – I’d sit at home and practise for hours.” Like Lisa Nilsson, Tommy Körberg is one of Sweden’s most cherished artists, admired for his remarkable versatility – he has done virtually everything an artist can do.

Born in New York in 1942, Barbra Streisand has sold over 140 million albums and starred in some twenty films – all part of a glittering career that began in 1960s nightclubs and on the Broadway stage. Her film debut came in 1968 with Funny Girl, and she has also written and directed films, including Yentl. Her autobiography My Name is Barbra was published in 2023.

Movies, Memories and Broadway captures the many highlights of a remarkable career. In a seamless flow of solo numbers, duets, orchestral interludes and reflections, the show celebrates an icon: Barbra Streisand.

The concert is performed without an interval.
