In the heart of the French capital, nearly 400,000 people gathered on the “most beautiful avenue in the world” to celebrate the New Year. An introduction with a playful representation of original city statistics, followed by the TEMPO show, which celebrated Paris as a musical capital, creating a parallel between symbols that make up the city’s identity and the world of musical instruments.
Five major sets were represented: percussion, piano, voice, strings and wind in order to recreate the Parisian symphony. A representation of the effervescence of the French capital, its mix, the Seine as an emblem, its culture and architecture. The final countdown was graced by a dazzling pyrotechnic show that filled the Place de l’Etoile with wonder.
The show was a success, a unique moment full of emotions and a memorable entry into the year 2020.
