Le Comte de Monte — Cristo en Ciné — Concert

The event film that has captivated over 13 million viewers worldwide returns in a unique ciné-concert version with a symphony orchestra during a tour that will visit Paris, Lille, and Lyon in April 2027. For this occasion, the film will be presented in its extended version with 10 minutes of exclusive sequences. For over 3 hours, the 80 musicians of the Yellow Socks Orchestra will perform the famous original soundtrack live, in perfect synchronisation with the film's projection on the big screen. Conceived as an opera, Jérôme Rebotier's symphonic score, under the artistic direction and executive production of Pierre-Marie Dru (Pigalle Production), accompanies the hero, brilliantly played by Pierre Niney, from beginning to end in his quest for revenge. The turning point in Dantès' destiny, Le trésor, this fortune that will allow him to become Le Comte de Monte-Cristo and finance his implacable retribution, also becomes the main musical theme of the film. A haunting melodic motif — stemming from the first notes of the love theme between Edmond and Mercédès — that constantly returns like an unshakeable memory. The masterful adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' work by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024 and winner of three César awards, including the high school students' César, reappears in a new form, sublimated by the power and emotion of the symphony orchestra.
