Pop's most chaotic prince crashes a Roman amphitheatre with 60 musicians. What could go right?
After a first recital at the majestic Royal Opera of Versailles in December 2020, followed by performances at the Philharmonie de Paris, Mika discovers the Chorégies d'Orange for the first time. Thanks to Simon Leclerc's mischievous arrangements, the pop star reinvents his hits accompanied by the Orchestre national Avignon-Provence and the Chœur Région Sud conducted by Michel Piquemal. More than a return to his roots, this symphonic concert is a journey into the intimate history of its performer. A journey during which several genres and cultures come together. A wonderful journey that only Mika knows how to create, guided by his curiosity and his desire to break the rules.
