Zaz - Tournée Des Théatres

Zaz at Radiant-Bellevue: Tournée des Théâtres

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to welcome Zaz for Tournée des Théâtres, a concert experience perfectly attuned to the intimacy and warmth of our venue. Our auditorium, renowned for its clarity of sound and generous sightlines, offers the close connection her music thrives on: the breath of a phrase, the grain of her voice, the spontaneous interplay with the audience. Tournée des Théâtres favors nuance over noise, and our team has shaped the room’s acoustic profile to emphasize color, dynamics, and detail, so the hush of a ballad draws you in as fully as a burst of swing does. From foyer to stage, we aim to create a welcoming arc—an evening that feels less like a spectacle and more like an encounter—so each listener, whether familiar with her earliest successes or discovering her today, can share that rare feeling of being addressed personally by an artist at the height of her interpretive powers.

An intimate program and recent artistic news

As a singer whose career bridges chanson, jazz, and folk influences, Zaz brings a repertoire that continually renews itself. In recent years she has refined her sound around more acoustic textures and reflective writing, a direction heard on her album Isa and echoed in concert by arrangements that spotlight strings, piano, guitar, and subtle percussion. Recent songs such as Imagine and Qué vendrá have become anchors of this phase—contemporary in spirit, yet true to the spontaneity that first captivated audiences. In the setting of Radiant-Bellevue, these titles gain a chamber-like presence, with dynamics calibrated so a whisper carries to the back row and a crescendo fills the room without overwhelming it. Around these newer pages, she weaves beloved titles like Je veux, On ira, and Si jamais j’oublie, offering fresh harmonies and rhythmic shadings that our engineers tailor for natural balance and intimacy. The result is a set that feels curated for theater-scale listening: a living conversation between past and present, voice and audience, silence and song.

Everything in this stop of Tournée des Théâtres at Radiant-Bellevue is designed to serve that conversation. Our stage configuration brings Zaz and her musicians closer to the floor, with warm, low-contrast lighting that frames gesture and expression rather than overpowering them. The room’s gentle rake and wide proscenium ensure that whether you are centered or to the side, you catch the nuance—the slide of a bow, the lift of a phrase. We anticipate a flow that moves from confiding ballads to spirited moments that invite the hall to answer back, and our teams have built a light and sound design that can pivot instantly between the two. Listeners who have followed her recent work will recognize the emotional arc shaped by Imagine and Qué vendrá, while long-time admirers will relish how Je veux, On ira, and Si jamais j’oublie are reimagined for theater acoustics. For audiences across the Lyon area, this is a chance to encounter a distinctive voice in conditions crafted for closeness and clarity—one evening, one room, and the joy of hearing songs breathe in real time at Radiant-Bellevue.
