From December 27th to 29th, the French musical "Notre-Dame de Paris" will perform five consecutive shows at the Guangzhou Opera House, offering audiences an authentic taste of the unique charm of French musicals. This "masterpiece of French drama," adapted from the timeless classic by French literary giant Victor Hugo, pioneered the musical format of "singing through," and was in such high demand during its 2019 visit to Guangzhou that tickets were nearly impossible to obtain. The show is also a significant event in the 2024 China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, once again resonating the legend of the cathedral era for Chinese audiences.

Since its premiere in Paris in 1998, the musical "Notre-Dame de Paris" has enjoyed a successful run for 26 years, featuring powerful and shocking modern music, visually stunning stage settings, and dramatic tension that builds a grand tragic epic. With 55 epic hits, the show incorporates a wealth of pop music elements and ingeniously blends bel canto and rock music together, making it the musical with the most songs in history.

The production has garnered multiple Canadian FELIX Art Awards, including "Drama of the Year," "Best Song of the Year," and "Best-Selling Album of the Year." It has since been translated into 10 languages and has earned itself a Guinness World Record title of "Best-Selling French Musical," becoming the undisputed leader in French musicals and one of the world's four legendary musicals.

In "Notre-Dame de Paris," the characters and scenes are filled with opposition and conflict. Singers express emotions through concrete lyrics, while dancers express emotions through abstract movements, with both singers and dancers on the same stage, simultaneously expressing the internal and external, as well as the concrete and abstract.

In terms of dance movements, the choreography grants dancers a great deal of freedom. Dancers also utilize props such as railings and sticks during their performances, demonstrating extraordinary physical control and delivering a performance that is both infectious and impactful.

阔别五年回归羊城，法剧《巴黎圣母院》开演

12月27日至29日，法语音乐剧《巴黎圣母院》将在广州大剧院接连演出五场，带领观众领略原汁原味的法语音乐剧独特魅力。这部改编自法国文学巨擘雨果不朽名著的“法剧神作”，开创了音乐剧“一唱到底”的先河，于2019年到访广州演出时曾一票难求。该剧也是2024中法文化交流年的重要活动之一，为中国观众再次唱响大教堂时代的传奇。

自1998年于巴黎首演以来，音乐剧《巴黎圣母院》盛演26年不衰，其强烈而具有震撼力的现代音乐，极具视觉效果的舞台布景，跌宕起伏的戏剧张力，建构成一部波澜壮阔的悲剧史诗。全剧55首史诗金曲，融入大量流行音乐元素，巧妙地将美声唱法和摇滚乐结合，堪称史上歌曲最多的音乐剧。

该剧曾获得加拿大FELIX艺术奖项“年度剧作”“年度最佳歌曲”与“年度最畅销专辑”多项殊荣。此后更转译10国语言，荣登吉尼斯纪录“最卖座法语音乐剧”称号，成为名副其实的法语第一音乐剧，强势进入音乐剧世界版图，成为世界四大传奇音乐剧之一。

在《巴黎圣母院》中，剧中角色与场面充满对立及冲突。歌唱者用具象的歌词来表达情感，舞者用抽象的动作来表达情感，歌者和舞者在同一舞台上同时表达了内在和外在、具象和抽象。

在舞蹈动作上，编舞还给予舞者很大的自由度。舞者在舞蹈时还运用了栏杆、棍棒等道具，展现出非凡的身体掌控力，富有感染力和冲击力。
