At 40, he’s very young for a President, but very old for a Peter.

Norman, according to the article you link to, he will be the narrator telling the story.
The celebrity reader usually is. Typical not-actually-read-the-article stuff.
In fact, narrator is the ONLY speaking part of the piece. All other “roles” are performed by musicians playing different instruments.
i’m still waiting for Trump to narrate Erin Kaplan’s “A Lincoln Bedroom Portrait.”
Worth noting that this picture has been taken inside the Strasbourg opera house. Macron even sang! http://www.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/video/macron-pousse-la-chansonnette-a-l-opera-de-strasbourg-997799.html

Not bad! Still, he has a long way to go: the late chancellor Helmut Schmidt, -an accomplished pianist himself-, was entertaining his colleagues in european summits showing off his talent (I have his Mozart recording by EMI), and so did former U.S.A. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice performing for Queen Elisabeth. Not to mention “the flute king”, Frederick the Great of Prussia.
