A musical about musicians that pitches the passion of love against the passion for music, delivered through an intriguing story set in romantic Paris. A truly emotional experience – and some tongue-in-cheek fun!

Beautifully crafted, stunning all-new compositions, largely influenced by classical music concepts, the rich arrangements are creative and committed to quality.

Eclectic vibrant elements of dramatic classical, smooth grooves, passionate ballads, salsa, reggae and even a rock number thrown into the mix. Beautiful sweet melodies and harmonic exploration, superbly delivered by magnificent vocal talents.

Inspired by the illustrious Symphonie Fantastique which the French classical composer Berlioz wrote to win the love of a woman.

Set in modern day Paris, classically trained composer Hector is not doing very well. He is just about to give it all up and drown his cello in the river Seine, when he is stopped just in time by Chopin, an accordion playing street performer.

And then, voilá, into Hector’s life walks pretty Aurelie, a carefree young street musician, whose joie-de-vivre fascinates Hector, and makes him want to do “anything” to win her heart. But Aurelie’s rich producer-boyfriend Jean-Sebastian plots to get Hector out of the way. The story takes us from Paris to New York, from classical music through ballad, rock, Latin and more.  

Who will win, and is the spirit of Berlioz with Hector in this triangle of Love, Music, or Fortune?
To quote from one of the songs: “We’ll take you on a journey, where no-one else has gone!”

Berlioz and Moon Landing:

Each of the Apollo astronauts was issued with a cassette player; as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on lunar soil, their colleague Michael Collins zoomed above the Sea Of Tranquility in his lonely command capsule immersed in the suitably wonderstruck strains of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique.

Thinks he is important and famous, therefore he needs two body guards; has no clue of what else goes on in the world, but is quite loveable – he’s convinced he’s the best!
