[Invitation Seat] The return of the French musical legend… "Notre Dame de Paris"

<Anchor>

A musical that is loved a lot, the French original team of 'Notre Dame de Paris' visited Korea.

We have invited Daniel Lavois, who has been playing the role of 'Frollo' in the play for over 20 years since his first performance in France.

[Daniel Lavois / Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: I feel like I haven't finished my trip yet.

I am very happy to be able to visit Korea again like this.

In particular, I am very happy to be able to perform at the wonderful Sejong Center for the Performing Arts.]

[Daniel Lavois/Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: I also want to explain the secret.

I think it's because 'Notre Dame de Paris' is a beautiful musical.

Because it impresses everyone.

And that's because they've continued to deliver high-quality performances for decades.

It's hard to explain the secret to this work's popularity, but I'm more than happy to be part of this performance.]

[Daniel Lavois/Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: That's right. Yes. I love Frollo so much. Although I am a villain, I have tamed the character Frollo over the years, and I have put my personality into that role. I like that Frollo is a complex character. The other characters of 'Notre Dame de Paris' are typical, simple, or fragmentary. Frollo is a complex and complex character. I like this side. I think I will be able to continue acting happily for more than 20 years.]

[Daniel Lavois/Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: The first performance in Korea (last year) was Blue Square. The Sejong Center for the Performing Arts seems to have a different atmosphere. I love my job so much and I love to sing on stage, so I am happy to be able to come to Korea and perform again.]

[Daniel Lavois/Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: I don't think there's a secret. I really love and have always loved my job, and I feel lucky to have this job. Always happy and happy to work. With luck, success continues. I am 72 years old this year, and I am still happy to be able to work.]

[Daniel Lavois / Notre-Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: Rather the opposite.

I am a singer, not an actor.

It's good to sing.

In a musical, dialogue is a device to complement the story in a way.

If you can tell a story with just a song, that's even better.

'Notre Dame de Paris' seems to have been more successful because it consists of only songs.

Because there are no lines, there is no energy consumption in the middle, and the enjoyment like a concert continues throughout the performance.

It's not that it's difficult to sing instead of the lines, but I think it's better just to sing.]

[Daniel Lavois/Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: First of all, I want to say thank you for coming back (to see the performance).

You work because of your fans, and thanks to your fans you can keep going with the job you love.

I want to say that we are happy to meet again, and that we will meet again.]

[Daniel Lavois / Notre Dame de Paris 'Frollo' Station: There are many plans.

I have a book I'm writing right now, and two albums are coming out.

Other personal performances are in progress, including the 'Notre Dame de Paris' tour.

There seems to be a lot of work to do until I am very old.]
