Dua Lipa Details “Vulnerable” Performance & “Depth Of Intensity” In CBS Special

deadline.com:

Dua Lipa dreamed big for her new concert special An Evening With Dua Lipa, and, she tells Deadline, it’s now one of her “favorite performances she’s ever done.” The CBS special airs Sunday at 8:30 p.m.

ET and 8 p.m. PT. Lipa put her whole heart into the project, which is evident in the many of the layers that make up the final product.

From including the legendary Elton John as part of her performance, to reuniting with her Sylvia Young Theater School teacher Ray, Lipa was meticulous in selecting the emotional notes to hit.

She also described the rehearsal process as “Royal Albert Hall boot camp.” Keep those tissues close by. When reconnecting with her teacher, the ‘Houdini’ singer told him how a piece of advice he imparted has stuck with her til this day: that she excels most when she’s outside of her comfort zone. “It’s also having the confidence to try new things,” Lipa said of the concert and this reunion. “He was always such a big champion and advocate of that when I was younger, of “Don’t be afraid of your dreams or let your dreams scare you” kind of thing.
