I have three loves: Chopin, Legrand and Aznavour at the piano

With I Have Three Loves, pianist Erik Berchot shares his connections to Frédéric Chopin, Michel Legrand and Charles Aznavour. This musical show is staged at the Théâtre de Passy until December 29, 2026, on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

The project brings together three stages in a musician’s journey. Chopin represents the formative years and the Warsaw competition, of which Erik Berchot was a prize-winner. Michel Legrand ties the piano to film music. Finally, Charles Aznavour recalls the years when the pianist accompanied him on stage.

The programme includes, notably, Chopin’s Grande Valse brillante, Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, and the Heroic Polonaise. Transcriptions of themes from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Messenger, and The Windmills of Your Mind extend this journey. A piano suite also gathers Aznavour’s songs, including La Bohème and Emmenez-moi.

Directed by François Rollin, the show blends piano performances with a narrative voiced by Macha Méril. It runs 1 hour 20 minutes at the venue on Rue de Passy. Tickets start at €15 for restricted-view seats and go up to €36 in the Golden Circle; the theatre also offers occasional promotions.
