Chanson Evening “J’ai deux amants”

With this motto, the opera singer Marie Giroux whisks her audience off to Paris – into the streets and alleyways, the houses and hotels, the very soul of this unique city. Paris – a whole world!

The flair of this world comes alive anew in every chanson – and always in a different way: subtle irony, longing, coquetry, sorrow, listlessness, exuberant joie de vivre, despair and hope. We hear about (mostly beautiful) women and men, their relationships, their thoughts, their happiness and their suffering. As you listen (and watch!), you may also encounter your own life – in the sounds of the metropolis of Paris ...
The programme ranges from the immediate precursors of the genre – Satie, for instance – through the classics to the most interesting younger chansonniers such as Francis Cabrel.
