This event marks the return of a legendary musical which, thanks to the universality of its story, has won the hearts of over 130 million spectators worldwide. Yet this is no mere revival: 45 years after this epic adventure began in 1978, the new production offers a chance to rediscover several songs that have become classics of the genre. Melodies such as J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie, À la volonté du peuple, Mon histoire and Le Grand jour return to the stage, enhanced by innovative staging and refreshing interpretations.
What makes this production particularly special is the collaboration with Alain Boublil. Renowned for his talent, he reworked the libretto for the occasion, bringing his own personal touch while remaining faithful to the essence of the original work. His vision, combined with the meticulous staging, highlights the symbolic dimension of iconic characters such as Jean Valjean, Cosette, Javert, Les Thénardier and Gavroche. This approach ensures a balance between the depth of the story and the fluidity of the transition from one setting to another, a characteristic element of this masterful work.
The mission ofLes Misérables, based on Victor Hugo's humanist fresco, has always been to touch its audience deeply. In this musical version, the scope of the story is amplified, echoing the author's famous quote:"As long as there is ignorance and misery on earth, books of the nature of this one may not be useless." And perhaps this is the reason for the timelessness of Les Misérables: they still resonate with the human condition, whatever the time or place.
