Having to set the scene and transport the piano, Marthe, Maruska, Yuko and Louise invest the building yards in Paris.
This lyrical singing troupe has been running contracts all over the French capital for three weeks, sometimes for a birthday or for other occasions.

But in the end, at the end of the concert, I have the impression that people are still happy and that it allows us to unite, "she concludes.
These artists are not yet able to make a living from courtyard opera, but the objective has already been achieved: that of bringing culture to life at all costs.
