Michel Rivard will mark his 50-year career with an anniversary show called The turn of the blockwhose tour will begin in January 2023.
Posted yesterday at 10:01 a.m.
This musical-theatrical event will bring together 10 musicians on stage at his side — singers, keyboards, wind instruments and even the famous Flybin Band (Sylvain Clavette, Rick Haworth and Mario Légaré) — and will revisit the defining songs of his life.
The singer-songwriter will begin this tour in Longueuil and Brossard, before stopping in Montreal on January 27 and 28, at the Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts. It will then continue its shows in twenty cities in Quebec, until the end of March 2023.
Michel Rivard is currently giving the last performances of his tour Origin of my species. He is particularly expected this Saturday in Laval, then in Quebec and Rivière-du-Loup (end of May and beginning of June), before concluding this series of shows on June 14 and 15, at the Francos de Montréal.
He will also participate this spring in the tour of the tribute show highlighting the centenary of the birth of the French singer Georges Brassens, The Polissons de la chanson-A tribute to George Brassens, with Ingrid St-Pierre, Luc De Larochellière, Valérie Blais and Saratoga. The show will close the Francos on June 18.
Michel Rivard will also be part of the cast of Sainte-Marie-la-Maudernea play based on the script of the film The Great Seduction, by Ken Scott, where he plays Germain Lesage, a “nice schemer” ready to do anything to save his city. The play will be shown on June 23, for the entire summer, at the Théâtre Gilles-Vigneault in Saint-Jérôme.
