Born in Cairo in 1933, Yolanda Gigliotti went to France at the age of 21. Unable to find a job, she tried singing, and quickly worked her way to stardom under the stage name Dalida. Alas, immense professional success went hand in hand with endless personal tragedy. She gained cult status after her death in 1987, and her bust stands in a square in Montmartre which bears her name, close to the house where she lived for 25 years.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until September 30, 2022.
