The Spiegeltent is back with a bang, rolling into Sorrento all the way from Belgium and knocking audiences out with its raunchy night of fun with the show, Limbo.

Local media and special guests attended the fabulous opening night last Thursday, greeted with bubbles on arrival and a magical journey back in time to the sexy days of vaudeville and cabaret.

After a sellout season last summer, the dream of restaurateur and theatrical producer, James McPherson, continues with the second annual Spiegeltent production, Limbo.

James, who had worked a lifetime in the entertainment industry doing PR for theatre and producing shows, is delighted about the reaction to the new show, which took lucky members of the audience to another world, where acrobats, musicians and dancers galore rocked the Spiegeltent stage.

“Spiegeltent is also a tribute to George Coppin, the Father of Sorrento, himself a comedian, entrepreneur and politician,” says James, who continues to dedicate the fabulous experience to the late great Mr Coppin whose love of Sorrento, hard work and dedication made it the holiday destination it is today.

James first fell in love with the Spiegeltent when he saw it in Melbourne many years ago.

Spiegeltent meaning ‘tent of mirrors’ is a luxurious pavilion constructed with wood, mirrors, canvas, and leadlight glass with velvet and brocade. Guests relax in booth seats surrounded by magnificent décor in this transportable entertainment venue that dates back to the late 19th century.

Rumour has it that the mirrors were positioned so that guests could make discreet eye contact with one another, and only a handful of these mirrored tents are left in the world today.

Having played host to the some of the world’s most famous artists, circus and burlesque performers, whose essence remains in the mirrors and velvet canopy today, the Spiegeltent conjures up images of mystery and magic.

Guests at the opening night included local media, sponsors and VIP guests, with Geoffrey Briscoe from BMW, Miss Australia International Jessica Martini, Emma and Travis from Neighbours, Rebecca from Flinders Hotel, director Scott Maidment, and producers, James McPherson, Simon Myers, Tony Healey and Belinda Visser.

To book the Spiegeltent or for further information on shows, phone the Spiegeltent Box Office on 0477 833 288.
