Michel Legrand In Armenia For A Concert

“Now I compose for the stage,” Michel Legrand said in Yerevan, who during his creative working life has produced more than a hundred albums and written music for more than 200 films.

The world-renowned composer informed the press that he is currently working on three theatrical musicals. And in answer to the question of how he relates to contemporary musicals, such as “Notre Dame de Paris,” he said that “it isn’t a musical at all, but a series of songs one after another, there is no story there, nothing theatrical, such works are simply ‘nonsense’.”

Michel Legrand is currently writing two more operas, one of which is to be performed in Paris, and the other, in London.

It turns out that Legrand who has numerous musical talents is also a stage manager. He is going to release a film called “Blind Love.” “I found a way to use music in film in a way that has never been done before. And I chose love as the subject [of the film] because in that way I can use my music at its best. I wanted to express my music in images,” said the composer.
