With Nocturnelle, Dita unveils a bewitching new vision—an exquisite blend of old-Hollywood allure, theatrical magic, and the high-art “Stripscapes” Dita is known for. Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic.
The Nocturnelle Tour follows Dita’s record-breaking Glamonatrix Tour which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all time, spanning multiple continents over a five year period. Renowned for producing the most lavish touring burlesque shows in history, Von Teese raises the bar yet again with a production that is opulent, and richly imaginative. Often imitated but never duplicated, Dita remains in a class of her own. Dita’s shows have most recently been attended by Harry Styles, Jean Paul Gaultier, Olivia Wilde, Tim Burton, Pamela Anderson, Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Josh Groban, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and the great Golden Age star, Leslie Caron.
Commenting on the Tour, Dita said: “Nocturnelle is my most glambitious show yet. It’s where sophisticated striptease meets the spellbinding art of illusion. Learning from master magicians and diving into the secrets of vintage magic, I set out to create something uniquely enchanting… it’s the art of the Teese, plus a little trickery, and a whole lot of glitz.”
Dita Von Teese is internationally recognised as the Queen of Burlesque, having set a history-making benchmark for this great American art form, with unrivaled artistry and flair as performer, creative director, choreographer and producer. Her sensational spectaculars, along with her current residency at The Venetian, present a gender- and body-diverse cast of the crème de la crème of neo-burlesque performers, hailing from all over the world—and always celebrating the spirit of joie de vivre so dear to Dita Von Teese.
