She is the direct successor and successor of the legacy of the legendary Édith Piaf. During her incredible career, she sang over 1,200 songs in 12 languages and sold over 200 million records worldwide. He has duets with the biggest singing stars like Paul Anka, Charles Aznavour, Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias and many others. Her songs such as Mon Credo, Acropolis Adieu and Santa Maria de la Mer are indelibly written in musical history.
Love for the Czech Republic
Although the singer has performed on the most prestigious stages around the world, the Czech Republic has a special place in her heart. Proof of this are the video clips for the songs Le premier regard d’amour and Barcarole, which she shot at Prague Castle. “I visited Prague for the first time in 1967 and I still remember how warmly the local audience welcomed me. I really like coming back here,” recalls Mireille Mathieu. In 2017, I even recorded an album with the Prague Symphony Orchestra here with eighteen famous classical compositions, and in 2018 I had the opportunity to shoot my video clips at Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. So Prague means a lot to me,” she added.
A concert full of hits
The current concert tour, entitled 60 Years Of Love, will bring fans the best of Mireille Mathieu’s six decades of successful musical career. Because the chanson singer constantly works on herself and trains her voice, she remains at the top of her music to this day. Her performances are therefore still widely sought after and positively evaluated. “The fact that I am still performing is due to the fact that I have always been and will always be myself. I’ve been doing what I love all my life, that is singing. Singing is like oxygen for me, it is my nature,” the singer explains. Nightingale from Avignon, as Mireille Mathieu calls herself, puts a piece of her heart into every song, and the upcoming Prague concert will be no exception. The unique atmosphere of the evening permeated with chanson will be underlined by the accompaniment of the French orchestra, which will of course come with Mireille Mathieu.
