About

The original French classic musical "Notre Dame de Paris," adapted from Victor Hugo's renowned masterpiece, is celebrated as a pinnacle among French musicals. With a global performance history spanning over two decades, it stands as a timeless gem in musical theatre. As the grand finale of Shanghai Cultural Square's year-end performance season, "Notre Dame de Paris" will grace the stage with its enchanting presence. This musical ingeniously melds bel canto and rock music, seamlessly blending popular music elements into its foundational musical structure. The visually spectacular stage sets enhance the immersive experience, transporting audiences into the heart of the narrative. Recognized as the best-selling musical in Guinness World Records, "Notre Dame de Paris" has garnered numerous accolades including "Drama of the Year," "Song of the Year," and "Album of the Year" at Canada's prestigious FELIX Art Awards. Its unique ability to intertwine historical richness with contemporary relevance makes it a standout in the world of musical theatre.

From 2019 to 2020, "Notre Dame De Paris" performed in Shanghai twice and was sold out with unprecedented grandeur, becoming a cherished memory in the hearts of countless people. As Shanghai Culture Square 2024 grand finale, the original French musical "Notre Dame De Paris" will be staged from January 3 through 27, 2025.

 " Notre Dame De Paris" was composed by the talented musician Luc Plamondon and the composer Richard Cocciante. The strong and impactful modern music, visually stunning stage scenery, and fully immersive performances vividly express the all-encompassing themes of time and fate in the original work, exposing and condemning the church and feudal system, criticizing the evil deeds of church members and the despicable spiritual morality of nobles, as well as praising the spirit of humanitarianism and benevolence. It officially premiered in the Paris Parliament Hall in 1998 and has been on tour worldwide for more than 25 years. It has spawned multiple versions in English, Spanish, Italian, and more, with unprecedented success and rave reviews.

The characters and scenes in the musical "Notre Dame De Paris" are full of opposition and conflict: admiration and infatuation, oath and betrayal, power and possession, fate and struggle, original sin and redemption, sinking and sublimation, the dramatic tension of ups and downs, building a magnificent epic of blood and tears intertwined, crossing the tide of the times and cultural barriers, and creating a new era of contemporary musical theater.
