With Sainte-Hélène, Les Lunaisiens open a page of history in song. On 5 May 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte died. It was the end of the extraordinary epic of a little corporal who would become Emperor of the French. Idolised or hated, it doesn't matter: he is omnipresent, particularly in the world of song. Several thousand verses were written during Napoleon's lifetime, and more were written until the beginning of the 20th century. His grey frock coat and his little hat were sung, his victories appreciated and his defeats reviled. Accompanied by Les cuivres romantiques, the ensemble directed by Arnaud Marzorati offers to plunge into the martial and nostalgic universe of Bonaparte's campaigns, and to taste the lament of the street singer who sometimes joins the ranks of the grognards, sometimes those of the conspirators.

Prices: €20 / €18 / €10
