INTERVIEW
This Friday, March 6, at 9:05 p.m., viewers will discover on TF1 and simultaneously on France Bleu the 2020 show of Restos du Coeur, Le Pari (s) des Enfoirés, recorded during their January concerts at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris. Anne Marcassus, volunteer artistic director of the concert, and Sophie Bazou, head of the Enfoirés service at Restos du Coeur, were in Culture Médias on Europe 1 to present the show, which will open on Le temps des cathédrales , in homage to Paris and Notre-Dame ... "The theme of this year was obvious, with Paris and the history of Notre-Dame which marked all French people," says Anne Marcassus. "We choose the songs first, we eliminate them, we add them, and we balance recent and old songs".
Tribute to Dalida, return of Véronique Sanson ...
This year, in addition to the opening, it is a tribute song to Dalida, Dying on stage, which promises "a great moment of emotion", she says. "We rarely do tributes and there was a magic moment when Bercy was transformed into a cathedral, there was no noise and at the end an incredible ovation. It was the first time that we make a song where the 46 bastards sing in unison ".
There will also be, among the paintings, a song by Johnny, Living for the best, with a fairly sober decor, "a very beautiful sequence with Véronique Sanson who gave us all the thrill!" ensures the artistic director. "We are so happy that she was able to participate and that she is there thirty years later". Véronique Sanson was indeed the first "Enfoirée", in 1989. She had not returned since 1999.
