It is a timeless moment that the viewers of France are preparing to experience. This Wednesday, December 22, 2021, the Mika concert will be broadcast at the Philharmonie de Paris and it is worth the detour.
Mika likes to surprise his audience and we can say that he has won his bet! On October 23, the coach of The voice first performed at the Philharmonie de Paris with the Orchester National d’Ile-de-France. Audiences were able to hear him revisit his most famous hits such as Grace Kelly Where Love today in a symphonic way. To do this, he was accompanied by a hundred musicians and a choir of fifty singers. Conductor Simon Leclerc was chosen for the direction and arrangements and Olivier Bardot was the choirmaster. Singers Ida Falk Winland and Max Taylor had the honor of accompanying the 38-year-old singer, as well as guitarist Thibaut Garcia.
Dressed in one of the original costumes he’s kept secret, Mika gave it his all on stage and once again wowed. An experience he will remember for a long time. “This concert was extremely intense, without any filter, which made the moment grand and very intimate at the same time. The moments of silence were breathtaking and the applause sounded like thunder. One of my dreams now would be to perform in Belgium at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie!“, he confided to the Belgian version of Paris Match. He could not miss this project, especially since the event had been planned for a long time. The final of The Voice All Stars, won by Anne Sila, was therefore mostly recorded and he was in duplex from his dressing room for the results.
The next day, October 24, therefore, Mika once again performed on the stage of the Philharmonie de Paris. And for this concert, the artist was applauded by the couple formed by Eric Dupond-Moretti and Isabelle Boulay. The opportunity to discover a rare photo of the lovebirds with Mika, behind the scenes. Claire Chazal also came to applaud him as you can see in our slideshow.
Next challenge for the singer, prepare his next album and take the opportunity to surprise his audience once again. “I have a lot of surprises for you. I decided to take even more risks, it’s the artist’s own! Putting yourself in danger gives you energy, and energy is the only thing that can make dreams come true.“, he concluded his interview with Paris Match.
