In March 1974, a slightly nervous Michel Berger played a song for France Gall—one he had written for himself but with her in mind. As he strummed a few chords, the lyrics left little room for doubt: Quand je suis seul et que je peux rêver / Je rêve que je suis dans tes bras / Je rêve que je te fais tout bas / Une déclaration, ma déclaration.

But the greatest love of the singer-songwriter was neither Véronique Sanson nor France Gall—his longtime partner in both life and music—but rather music itself, the only remedy for wounds that never quite healed. Behind his polished, almost reserved exterior lay a tormented man who drew boundless energy from his own fractures. A singular melodist and an underrated lyricist whose simplicity struck straight to the heart, Michel Berger didn’t just revive France Gall’s career—he also shaped those of icons like Françoise Hardy (Message personnel) and Johnny Hallyday (Le Chanteur abandonné, Quelque chose de Tennessee).

In French.

28 & 29 June

The opera Erismena, in its original Italian version, was first performed in Venice in 1655 by Francesco Cavalli, making it one of the earliest operas of the Baroque era. Notably, it is likely the first opera ever translated into English and perhaps even performed in England. Its handwritten score, complete with an English libretto, was rediscovered in 2008 in a private library, enhanced by a unique prologue.

La Cité Bleue and the Haute École de Musique (HEM) organized an intensive months-long workshop, a significant investment in the professional training of students from the Early Music Department. This initiative prepared singers and musicians in historical performance practices and led to the first European staging of Cavalli’s Erismena.
