In 2009 Pitre made her Carnegie Hall debut in the role of Ulrika in the concert version of the musical Kristina by ABBA's Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.

Louise’s performances have been met with with glowing praise. “Full-throated emotion and cut-to-the-chase honesty are her trademark. She explores every aspect of heartbreak, from despair to defiance, in her own unique style.", says Richard Ouzounian of The Toronto Star.
La Vie En Rouge promises to heat up Toronto with an extraordinary night of sensational music. Tickets are $60-$75 and can be booked online. For more information visit St Lawrence Centre for the Arts or Louise Pitre’s website.
