Piaf

This magical concert took place at the Olympia in October 2013. For those who were lucky to be in the audience it was an opportunity to see and hear one of the greatest contemporary French singers pay homage to Edith Piaf. Enjoy 21 songs of the great Piaf arranged by Abel Korzeniowski – « La Vie en Rose », « Milord », « L'Hymne à l'Amour » and «Non, je ne regrette rien » with a new mise en scène, this show is unique, visually and musically, promising you an emotional and moving evening. The performance of Patricia Kaas, the lights of the spectacle, the previously unpublished images of Piaf, make this concert extraordinary.

From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, Edith Piaf's life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Raised in her grandmother's brothel, Piaf was discovered in 1935 by nightclub owner Louis Leplee, who persuaded her to sing despite her extreme nervousness. Piaf became one of France's immortal icons, her voice one of the indelible signatures of the 20th century.

An aspiring singer tries to break into films during the early talkie era. She is hired to dub the singing and speaking voice of a silent-movie favorite. Sworn to secrecy, the fill-in must stand by in silence as the star receives all the praises and plaudits.
