KIA ORA
Welcome to the Right Royal Cabaret Festival! We invite you to leave behind your winter woes and enter the razzle-dazzle of the cabaret!
The Taranaki Arts Festival Trust (TAFT) is thrilled to present the fifth season of the Right Royal Cabaret Festival, lighting up Taranaki with four nights of world-class, thought-provoking, and tantalising performances.
Right Royal Cabaret Festival is a celebration of cabaret in all its boldness, brilliance, and thrilling unpredictability. From hilarious comedy and seductive burlesque to powerful theatre and spellbinding music, this year’s lineup promises something to enchant and excite every festival-goer.
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our festival partners, patrons, sponsors, and audiences. For over 30 years, TAFT has been proudly bringing extraordinary performances to the region, and it is your passion and support that allow the arts to not only survive but thrive in Taranaki.
Now it is time to turn up the heat, shake off those winter blues, and get ready to revel in a cabaret festival like no other. The stage is set, so let the magic begin.
