A unique hybrid musical and artistic creation in an exceptional setting, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. This is what awaits you on the evening of Monday, December 25, 2023, during the show entitled " Versailles 400 " . Behind this original and innovative event, which celebrates the 400th anniversary of the Château de Versailles, is Jean-Michel Jarre. To enhance the festive season, the French electro artist has come up with the brilliant idea of offering an immersive concert in the incredible Hall of Mirrors at the Château de Versailles.
Wearing a French mixed-reality headset, Jean-Michel Jarre will play live to the audience, who will be on hand for the occasion. But that's not all, as the artist will also be performing in the metaverse. Thanks to his avatar, Jean-Michel Jarre will be simultaneously behind his turntables in front of a virtual audience, this time in the center of a futuristic Hall of Mirrors. As for the tracks, the dj won't be shying away from revisiting some of his greatest hits, taken from his very rich discography!
It should be noted that this recording, made from the Château de Versailles, will also be broadcast on the French television channels of Groupe M6-W9, and internationally via Eurovision Services / UER, on the radio (RTL), on the Internet via digital platforms, as well as in virtual reality on the French VRROOM platform. This immersive concert-show by Jean-Michel Jarre in the Hall of Mirrors will thus be accessible via multiple channels.
" Versailles 400 is a hybrid concert-show creation broadcast live from one of the most beautiful places in the world, as well as in virtual reality in the metaverse, which I hope will help to promote our expertise and bring the world of French immersive creation a little more into the collective culture, " confided Jean-Michel Jarre in a press release published on December 5.
So, are you ready for a wonderful musical journey through the physical and virtual worlds? Head for the Hall of Mirrors at the Château de Versailles on December 25, or into the metaverse for VR enthusiasts!
