[PHOTOS] Notre Dame de Paris still enchants

This is one of the summer shows not to be missed. Carried by an impeccable cast that includes two of the original team’s interpreters in Daniel Lavoie and Bruno Pelletier, this musical still enchants nearly 25 years after its creation. We were able to see it at the Montreal premiere on Tuesday, at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier.

Could it be a gift to himself for his 60th birthday last Sunday? However, Bruno Pelletier seems to have as much fun as a young kid as Gringoire.

The translator always began the performance with a very loud voice, to the hearty applause of the people, to understand the timeless Time of cathedrals. The tone is brilliantly set.

Immediately after, with Homeless, audiences were spoiled with one of music’s most effective combos. The work of Luc Plamondon and Richard Cocciante has not aged a bit and is still powerful.

Much has been made about the return of Bruno Pelletier. Well named. The singer shows himself in good shape in more physical pictures like fool’s day And Val d’Amour.

Everyone shines

But we quickly realize what a standout performer he is among many, because his peers are all so talented.

In this Our Lady The 2022 version will have a very small moment for everyone to shine on stage.

Daniel Lavoie, who plays the tortured priest Frollo, is especially present in the first act, which is very intense for us. You are going to destroy meThere we see all the torments of his character.

Coming to the ninth tableau of the first act, Angelo del Vecchio’s Quasimodo is disturbingly vulnerable. Of course, one can only think of an explanation for it in the late 1990s. But Del Vecchio has nothing to be ashamed of for his performance. We believe his Quasimodo.

Many of the titles that people are familiar with are covered in the first part. The Court of MiraclesDistributed by a
Clopin (Jay) sat on a heavy steel beam, very well received.

The two female performers, Elhaida Dani (Esmeralda) and Emma Lepine (Fleur-de-Lis), also had their moments to shine, especially in their beautiful duet. Beautiful as the sun.

Gorgeous beautiful

However, we expect huge beautiful, one of the most important parts of our Francophonie. And we were not disappointed. Del Vecchio, Lavoie and Gian Marco Schiaretti (Phoebus) passed the ball to each other nicely, before finishing in unison, a moment that gave us goosebumps.

As of this writing, the second act has just begun. But already, relying only on the first part, we can confirm this Notre Dame of Paris A true success.
