Marilyn Live - Le Concert du Centenaire

To mark the centenary of Marilyn Monroe, immerse yourself in the musical world of the American icon for a concert showcasing the finest songs from Marilyn's films! The programme of this special event features the greatest hits that marked the legend of Marilyn Monroe: Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, an unmissable hit from Les hommes préfèrent les blondes (1953); I Wanna Be Loved by You, a sensual extract from Certains l'aiment chaud (1959); Heat Wave, a dazzling performance from La Joyeuse Parade (1954); or My Heart Belongs to Daddy, the cult number from Le Milliardaire (1960). For this world premiere, three exceptional singers will lend their voices to the legacy of Marilyn Monroe: Neïma Naouri, daughter of the celebrated opera singers Natalie Dessay and Laurent Naouri, who has distinguished herself in Broadway musicals and in jazz; Louise Charbonnel, a revelation of Les Inouïs du Printemps de Bourges 2025 and a former performer in Starmania, whose musical universe blends pop, classical and jazz; and Judith Derouin, who has distinguished herself as a soloist in numerous opera, jazz and musical theatre productions.

A century after her birth, Marilyn remains a timeless icon whose aura continues to fascinate the whole world…
