CARCASSONNE
Two powerful and beloved voices of French song come together for a unique double-bill evening: between Zaz’s overflowing energy and musical freedom, and Claudio Capéo’s sincerity and unifying anthems, these two concerts promise a generous and resolutely festive evening in the heart of the Medieval City.
8:30 PM: ZAZ
Since her breakout hit “Je veux” in 2010, ZAZ has established herself as a unique voice in the music scene, blending pop, French chanson, and jazz with rare intensity. Her distinctive voice and authentic universe have won the hearts of thousands of fans worldwide. In 2025, she returns with her sixth album—intimate and deeply human—a record acclaimed by critics and adored by audiences. Backed by a sold-out world tour, ZAZ is also set to ignite festivals this summer. On stage, she is both generous and moving, capable of delivering electrifying energy while touching the soul. ZAZ offers a unique moment, filled with emotion and sincerity.
10:00 PM: Claudio Capéo
A multi-award-winning artist with over 1.5 million albums sold, Claudio Capéo stands as one of the most singular and beloved voices in French music. “One day, all sadness will end,” wrote one of the great poets of the 21st century. Listening to his new album, one can’t help but believe Claudio Capéo has composed its soundtrack. Behind the gentle melancholy of his songs lies a glimmer of hope, an energy that uplifts and unites. With his latest album, “Nouveau souffle” (released November 21, 2025), Claudio delivers a testimony of rare sincerity. This “new breath”—whether from the accordion or renewed lungs—gives voice to the forgotten (“Speranza,” “Qui a dit ça”) and helps them sing, shout their dreamed-of, imagined escape.
