Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, comedy, song, dance, recitation or drama. It is mainly distinguished by the performance venue, such as in a restaurant, pub or nightclub with a stage for performances. The audience, often dining or drinking, does not typically dance but usually sits at tables. Performances are usually introduced by a master of ceremonies. The entertainment is often (but not always) oriented towards adult audiences.
Cabaret tends towards the smoky, sultry side of music, popularized in nightclubs and cafes. From Josephine Baker to Don Ho, or Edith Piaf to Marianne Faithfull’s later recordings, Cabaret music is racy, smooth, and energetic.
In France, the word “cabaret” initially referred to any business serving liquor. However, the history of cabaret culture began in 1881 with the opening of Le Chat Noir in the Monmartre district of Paris. It was an informal saloon where poets, artists and composers could share ideas and compositions. Performers got to test new material, audiences enjoyed a stimulating evening for the price of a few drinks, and owners could count on a steady flow of regular customers – a win-win-win proposition. Le Chat Noir attracted such notables as Maupassant, Debussy and Satie.
