    Duos Mystères

    , a new entertainment program presented by Alessandra Sublet.

  • The program is a “musical hide-and-seek”, explains producer Mathieu Vergne to

    20 Minutes

    .

    Artists will come on the set ignoring until the last moment who will sing a duet with them.

  • Jane Birkin, Lio, Grand Corps Malade, Pomme and Jarry appear in the cast of this first issue.

Guess who's coming to sing?

This is, in essence, the concept of

Duos Mystères

, the new entertainment program hosted by Alessandra Sublet and launched on TF1 on Friday at 9:05 p.m.

While the information was disseminated in dribbles to the media,

20 Minutes

takes stock with Mathieu Vergne, the president of MLS TV who produces the program.

The concept. 

A personality comes to sing a duet without knowing who interprets the song with her.

A screen wall separates them until the last moment.

Some artists will be hidden in a sort of removable tube to keep their identity a secret.

“We organized the show like a great musical hide-and-seek,” sums up producer Mathieu Vergne.

Viewers will have to try to guess a member of the duo or both, simply by the sound of their voice or by clues given just before.

"

Who came to sing with Lio?

For the latter, as for the public, it is a question mark.

The casting.

If the production wants to keep the suspense until the broadcast,

20 Minutes

is able to announce the participation of Lio, Grand Corps Malade, Daniel Lévi, Marine Delterme, Jarry, Inès Reg or even Pomme, recently crowned best female artist. at the Victoires de la Musique.

“There will also be rare TV personalities like Jane Birkin,” says Mathieu Vergne.

The person in front of her, a César-awarded actress, is also very rare in variety shows ”.

Emotion.

"We make artists sing with people who have a special importance for them: long-time friends, members of their family", notes the producer who promises sequences "very strong in emotion" and "tears".

Like, for example, that of this “very famous singer” who will have the surprise of singing

The Eternal Story

, a cult song from her childhood, with her sister.

How will personalities react when the wall separating them from the one who shares a duet with them comes up?

This is the climax of each sequence.

Songs.

The production also relies on musical quality.

An orchestra will accompany the artists on stage and the songs performed will have been re-orchestrated for the occasion.

Export.

This will have no impact for the French public, but note that the concept of Duos Mystères has been sold in about fifteen countries (United States, Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Australia…).

He is on the verge of finding buyers in Poland and Russia.

A satisfecit for the production company MLS TV, creator of

La Chanson secrète

(TF1) and

La Lettre

(France 2), because it is not every day that a French program is exported so well, even before its broadcast in France.
