President Macron will appear in Peter and the Wolf
mainHe has scheduled a concert at the Elysée Palace next Thursday where he gets to recite the role of Peter.
Or maybe the wolf.
The concert will be attended by school children, sick children and Palace staff, we read.
At 40, he’s very young for a President, but very old for a Peter.
40! Sure puts things in perspective, if one can run a country at 40, how hard can it be to run the Met?

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
Doesn’t look like proper singing. He is primarily smiling and barely moving his lips. A politician in action.
“barely moving his lips” ≠ “A politician in action”
😉
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.
