Musical comedy centered on THE monument that everyone is talking about at the start of December 2024, Notre-Dame of Paris continues to make the Parisian cathedral shine in the four corners of the planet (performances in more than twenty countries, in eight different languages). Guests in The Sunday Tribune to evoke this success and the reopening of the historic monument after heavy work, the lyricist Luc Plamondon and the composer Richard Cocciante admitted it half-heartedly: they were not invited to the ceremonies of December 7, 2024among firefighters, carpenters, politicians and other artists who have helped directly or indirectly to promote Notre-Dame throughout the world…
“What can I say?” asked Richard Cocciante who had not been invited
When the weekly’s journalist noted that they were not invited to the reopening of Notre-Dame, Richard Cocciante retorted: “What can I say? For me, the important thing is that this lady who overcame centuries between wars and revolutions has proven to us that it’s not a fire who will prevent him from standing.” A nice way to confirm the information without pointing the finger at the organizers of the ceremonies while elegantly saluting the strength of the building at the center of its musical.
Same neutrality on the side of Luc Plamondon who follows in the footsteps of his friend by adding: “You are absolutely right. The main thing is to discover it even more beautiful.”
A remark that appeared quite sober when they could have been offended. Saturday December 7, in prime time on France Télévision, just after the inaugural mass, a large concert was organized in Notre-Dame mixing variety (Clara Luciani, Vianney, Pharrell Williams, etc.) and classical music (Lang Lang, Pretty Yende, Khatia Buniatishvili …). Show which opened with a medley performed by a certain Garou. Three mixed titles: The time of the cathedrals, The bells and Belle…. Three hits from… the musical Notre-Dame of Paris signed Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante.
