Fans of Edith Piaf will be able to enjoy a tribute at the Megaron, Athens Concert Hall on 31 January, as the life of the French singing legend is presented through a musical theatre performance that has swept Paris. This unique dramatisation of a musical biography, filled with Piaf’s immortal songs, will recreate her life in a manner that is entertaining and at the same time moving. Jacques Pessis, journalist, author and music historian, recalls Piaf’s career by focusing on key points in her life in an entertaining way.

How did the songs “La vie en rose,” “L’hymne à l’amour,” “Milord” or “Non, je ne regrette rien” come to be? How did she grow up in the Paris ghetto and the bars of Pigalle? How did Édith Gassion become the “Little Sparrow” and later “Edith”? How did she meet Marcel Cerdan, who became the love of her life? What do Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour, Georges Moustaki and many others owe her? How did she consume her life by performing to exhaustion, defying doctors who insistently recommended she rest?

Ticket Prices: 75€, 55€, 45€, 35€, 20€
