Le Gateau Chocolat is an operatic bass and larger than life phenomenon whose international purview crosses seamlessly from Wagner to Whitney Houston, Purcell to Radiohead and back again. Attracting worldwide headlines and controversy when he performed in Tobias Kratzer’s acclaimed production of Wagner’s Tannhäuser at the 2019 Bayreuth Festival, the first drag artist of colour to have graced Germany’s most hallowed of stages. Voted by Time Out London as one of its Top 10 Cabaret Stars, Le Gateau Chocolat is a one-man, wig-wearing, sequin-clad musical chameleon whose celebrated and defiant bass continues to subvert in the post-gender era.
