Monterey Symphony presents Love Letter to Paris

Performances at Forest Theater, Carmel, Mountain View and Santa Rita Ave. The Monterey Symphony presents Love Letter to Paris September 16 and 17 at 6:30 PM at the outdoor Forest Theater in Carmel. Take a moonlit walk through the music of Paris—past, present, and cinematic. Join the Monterey Symphony for our fifth Love Letter concert, a sparkling celebration of Paris and the unforgettable music it has inspired. From Offenbach’s high-spirited Can Can to Fauré’s lush Pavane and Gershwin’s jazzy An American in Paris, the evening brims with beauty. We’re thrilled to feature three phenomenal vocalists: Love Letter favorite Malinda DeRouen returns to bring the timeless Édith Piaf classics La Foule and La Vie en rose to life; Bernard Holcomb joins Leberta Lorál for a showstopping Phantom of the Opera duet; and Lorál dazzles in Bizet’s Habanera and Michel Legrand’s I Will Wait for You. You’ll also hear music from beloved films including Beauty and the Beast, Ratatouille, Amélie, and more! This is your passport to a Parisian dreamscape—romantic, nostalgic, and utterly enchanting. Join the Monterey Symphony for a passionate homage to the city that continues to inspire the world’s greatest music and films.
