French romance with musical twist debuts in China

There are two new notable songs on the musical's China tour, namely On Aime Qu'une Fois (True Love Comes Only Once), exclusively presented in China by Di Bari, and Je M'efface a Jamais (I am Fading Away Forever), presented by Ban.

"Laurent (Ban) usually sings very powerful songs on stage. But with this song, he expresses his sensitivity. I really love it. The whole story is intimate, emotional and touching. When I perform in it, I am deeply moved," says Di Bari.

Ban highlights that the new songs created specifically for China make this production different from its other versions. Sticking to pure love and romanticism, he hopes to remind audiences in today's fastpaced life what love is truly about.

Gil Marsalla, director of the musical, adds: "China is a huge market for French musicals. It is a big challenge to present the new show in a large, important country like China. We see Cyrano live and love until the last second, and we hope to show the intensity and power of love."

Following Shanghai, the musical will travel to six other cities across China throughout June 14, including Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Weifang and Jinan in Shandong province, and Kunshan and Nanjing in Jiangsu province.
