Chanson
Experience the magic of the French life song

Step into the world of compelling melodies, poetic lyrics and timeless classics with the theater concert Chanson. Get carried away on the beautiful sounds of La vie en rose, La Bohème and Ne me quitte pas, masterpieces by such greats as Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour and Jacques Brel.

Chanson is a grand theatrical concert featuring an impressive ensemble of nineteen musicians and soloists who together present a tribute to this immensely popular genre. This is perhaps the largest performance around French chansons ever seen in the Netherlands. The concert is the ultimate tribute to French song and takes you back to the streets of Paris.

Immerse yourself in an evening full of passion, melancholy and romance. Relive the songs that have touched generations and discover the power of this timeless genre in a spectacular theatrical production.

Chanson - a musical tribute you don't want to miss! The performance Chanson has been in preparation for over a year now and will be shown exclusively in 2025 and 2026 in a number of Dutch theaters.

All chansons will be played in their original performances by a large orchestra conducted by Hans Voerman, including horns and a string ensemble. The soloists are all specialists in this special genre. Directing the performance is Marc Forno, former dancer of the iconic Parisian theater Folies Bergère and a connoisseur of this metier.
