Astor Theatre 659 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, WA -

Late 1970’s Riccardo Fogli was a successful Italian import for The Astor Theatre. Full houses at The Astor greeted Riccardo Fogli, along with standing ovations.

The Astor was now an international venue under the patronage of the Parri family.

The 1980s became a pinnacle of success for Riccardo Fogli. In this period, the lyrics of his songs became more philosophical and his singing manner became more emotional. In 1981, Fogli performed one of his most famous and lyrical song, “Malinconia” (“Melancholy”), and in 1982 he was the winner of the Festival di Sanremo with his other hit “Storie di tutti i giorni” (“Everyday Stories”)

His 1982 album Collezione (Collection) was issued in nearly a million copies in Western Europe, Japan and the USSR, where he became particularly popular.
