Carla Bruni for two concerts at Pallas Theater
October 23, 2017 @ 9:00 pm - October 24, 2017 @ 11:30 pm
Start: 23 October 2017
End: 24 October 2017
Carla Bruni, the most talked about former first lady of France, starts her world music tour by choosing Greece as her first stop.
Carla Bruni will visit Athens on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 October, giving – for the first time – two concerts at Pallas Theater with… “French Touch”.
The choice of Athens for the start of her tour is not at all accidental because she is a lover of Greek culture and decided to premiere her musical work with “French Touch” in Greece. Immediately afterwards she will perform in Spain, Portugal, Germany, England, the Netherlands and the United States up to South America.
“French Touch” is also the title of her new album, which will be released in October and contains a collection of covers of well-known songs in English, produced by the legendary producer, composer and musician, David Foster. The first single, from her “French Touch” CD is “Enjoy the Silence”, the classic 1990 Depeche Mode song. Carla Bruni, for her part, describes these songs “as you would listen to them on a quiet evening, some sweet moments. This is my dream. That people will listen to my music when they are relaxing and falling in love.”
At the concert, Carla Bruni will perform songs mainly from her new album and older hits. Taofik Farah – guitar, Cyril Barbessol – keyboards, Nicolas Didier – percussion, Johanne Mathaly – cello.
Carla Bruni has been writing and performing songs since 1997, with her first album “Quelqu’un m’a dit” (Someone Told Me), released in 2002. Since then she has had three more successful releases, which have sold over 3 million albums, “No Promises” in 2007 in which she set English poems to music, “Comme si de rien n’etait” in 2008 and “Little French Songs” in 2013.
