MOULIN ROUGE THE VENUE Enter the spectacular world of the Moulin Rouge – a unique symbol of Parisian entertainment since 1889! Located at the foot of Montmartre hill, the Moulin Rouge is instantly recognizable thanks to its world-famous red windmill (moulin rouge in French), positioned high above the entrance. From its very first days, the Moulin Rouge quickly earned a reputation as a temple of music and dance. Thousands of artists have contributed to its fame, from the dancer La Goulue, known as Queen of the Cancan, to the legendary Edith Piaf, not to mention the famed actors and singers Mistinguett and Yves Montand. Today, the Moulin Rouge takes you on a spectacular journey, beginning with an exquisite dinner created by chef David Le Quellec and followed by the extraordinary show FÉERIE! The Moulin Rouge welcomes guests from France and the entire world in the warm atmosphere of its iconic venue. You’re in for a unique experience – an evening full of surprises! THE SHOW FÉERIE Welcome to the world beneath the sails of the Moulin Rouge’s windmill – and get ready to be enchanted, amazed and enthralled by our celebrated Féerie show! Féerie consists of a troupe of 80 artists, including 60 Doriss Girls recruited worldwide; 1,000 costumes of feathers, rhinestones and sequins, made in the most celebrated Parisian workshops; sumptuous sets in shimmering colours, exclusively designed by Italian artists; outstanding international acts, and our giant aquarium. The whole show is performed to original music, recorded by 80 musicians and 60 chorus singers. LIDO DE PARIS THE VENUE Located on the most emblematic avenue of the French Capital, at 78 avenue des Champs- Elysées, the Lido de Paris has been attracting and enchanting visitors from France and around the world since 1948. In the world of cabarets, the Lido de Paris is a living legend, known for constantly reinventing itself. It was here that the concept of the Dinner Show was born, and, over the years, the venue’s many human and technical innovations have attracted worldwide acclaim. Today, the Lido’s talented dancers and performers showcase their skills on a stage that can transform into an ice-skating rink or even a swimming pool. Spend an evening with the Bluebell Girls and the Lido Boys – and experience the most extravagant cabaret in the City of Light! THE SHOW PARIS MERVEILLES An exceptional evening awaits you with Paris Merveilles, the latest creation from the Lido de Paris. Produced and directed by Franco Dragone, the celebrated director of the Cirque du Soleil, Paris Merveilles adds a twist to the classic cabaret show while paying homage to Paris and Parisian women. The show brings together 60 performers from around the world, including the famed Bluebell Girls, who embody Parisian glamour and sensuality with their feathered rhinestone costumes and headdresses. Paris Merveilles also reserves a few surprises, including a turn by hip-hop dancers and an awe-inspiring routine from figure skaters. The evening kicks off with music, performed in the renovated premises of the Lido by a 45-instrument mechanical orchestra, accompanied by live musicians. The dinner is inspired by the show. For Paris Merveilles, chefs have dreamed up a new menu that sets the tone for the evening, with high-quality products, original creations and desserts from the famed patisserie Lenôtre. So, get ready to be blown away from the moment the curtain goes up! ARGENTINA VENUE The Grand Rex is one of the best-known movie theatres on Paris’s 'Grands Boulevards’. Its external facade, outsized compared to neighbouring buildings, features large neon signs and an art deco tower. The theatre's 2,800 places are the most of any in Europe, and its 300 m2 screen (24.90 m (82 ft) wide and 11.35 m (37 ft) high) is the largest in Paris. The Grand Rex (or the Rex as it was originally known) was built in 1931 by a wealthy film producer known for bringing Charlie Chaplin to French audiences. His aim was to create the most beautiful movie theatre in Paris, where cinema-goers would feel like they were watching a film in the open air. The Grand Rex's main auditorium features a starred ceiling and fairy-tale decorations on both sides of the screen, including water features. It hosts French premieres of new movies, plus special events and shows. SHOW Argentina, the magical tango musical! Argentina is a show that takes viewers on a fabulous journey into the sizzling streets of Buenos Aires during the Roaring Twenties. The storyline of this captivating tango show – a potent cocktail of passion, dance and song – has Charlie Chaplin falling madly in love with a migrant woman. TUTU VENUE Bobino is a theatre located on Paris’s Left Bank on a street well-known for its cultural nightlife. Named after an Italian clown who found fame in Paris in the 19th century, Bobino has an unusual history. Since its opening in 1870, the theatre has welcomed an impressive roll call of artists from the French scene, including Edith Piaf and Barbara, but also the American Josephine Baker. Totally rebuilt in 1985, the Bobino experimented with different directions until 2010, when its director pursued a new vision, opening the theatre to one-man-shows, dance, concerts and musicals. SHOW Tutu explores some of the stage’s most famous and important dance works from Swan Lake to Pina Bausch … with a twist. Packed with rhythm and humour, the show features six dancers who, over the course of 20 scenes, become icons of classical ballet, contemporary dance, rhythmic dance, academic dance – and even acrobatic dance. It’s a show filled with colourful surprises that will wow and delight audiences. At its heart are the six chameleon-esque men who play all the roles – more than 40 characters that will have you laughing, gasping and applauding. ‘Chicos Mambo’, the company behind Tutu, is known for its technical wizardry and sense of humour – and both are on show here! This is dance at its versatile, atypical, irreverent, fun and artistic best. A must-see! LES FRANGLAISES VENUE Bobino is a theatre located on Paris’s Left Bank on a street well-known for its cultural nightlife. Named after an Italian clown who found fame in Paris in the nineteenth century, Bobino has an unusual history. Since its opening in 1870, the theatre has welcomed an impressive roll call of artists from the French scene, including Edith Piaf and Barbara, but also the American Josephine Baker. Totally rebuilt in 1985, Bobino experimented with different directions until 2010, when its director pursued a new vision, opening the theatre to one-man-shows, dance, concerts and musicals. SHOW Les Franglaises is back in Paris after a successful tour in France and abroad. The show won Best Musical at the 2015 Molières (the French equivalent of the Tony or Olivier awards). Why? Because it’s an hilarious romp through the Anglo-Saxon musical repertoire, a fun-filled show that knowingly plays with all the rules. Les Franglaises offers up literal French translations of some of the best-known songs originally created in English – with some entertaining results! Filled with song, dance and audacious sound effects, Les Franglaises is a unique and memorable moment of unadulterated joy! MAISON DE LA RADIO/AUDITORIUM VENUE An iconic venue since the 1960s, the Maison de la Radio is located by the Seine close to the Eiffel Tower and is home to France’s national radio stations. The building is also known as 'Maison Ronde' (Round House) because of its oval architecture. Three years ago, the Maison de la Radio inaugurated a new auditorium for public concerts. Designed to enhance the listening experience, this concert hall was designed with 1,400 seats encircling the stage, offering greater proximity and intimacy for both musicians and music lovers. SHOW – SHOSTAKOVITCH 1917 November 2017: a century ago, according to the Julian calendar used in Russia at the time, Lenin took advantage of the fall of Tsar Nicolas II to found the myth of the Russian Revolution. Shostakovich, whether he liked it or not, was enlisted to celebrate this momentous event of 1917. The result piece was Symphony No. 12, with the last movement simply entitled ‘The Dawn of Humanity’. An entirely different perspective is offered up in his Symphony No. 9 and in his Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and String Orchestra – where ideological references are completely absent.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.

Doctoral Dissertations. 1946. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1946 Fréhel and Bessie Smith: A Cross-Cultural Study of the French Realist Singer and the African American Classic Blues Singer Tiffany Renée Jackson, DMA University of Connecticut, 2018 ABSTRACT In this dissertation I explore parallels between the lives and careers of the chan- son réaliste singer Fréhel (1891-1951), born Marguerite Boulc’h, and the classic blues singer Bessie Smith (1894-1937), and between the genres in which they worked. Both were tragic figures, whose struggles with love, abuse, and abandonment culminated in untimely ends that nevertheless did not overshadow their historical relevance. Drawing on literature in cultural studies and sociology that deals with feminism, race, and class, I compare the the two women’s formative environments and their subsequent biographi- cal histories, their career trajectories, the societal hierarchies from which they emerged, and, finally, their significance for developments in women’s autonomy in wider society. Chanson réaliste (realist song) was a French popular song category developed in the Parisian cabaret of the1880s and which attained its peak of wide dissemination and popularity from the 1920s through the 1940s.
