Composer Benoît Charest leads Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville in the live performance of his original score.
Kidnapped by mysterious henchmen, a Tour de France cyclist named Champion is spirited across the ocean to the teeming metropolis of Belleville. His near-sighted grandmother and faithful dog follow his trail and are taken in by a trio of eccentric jazz-era divas, while the motley sleuths follow the clues in hot pursuit. This beloved animated film will be accompanied by a live performance by composer Benoît Charest’s Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville of his original score, including his Academy Award-nominated song, Belleville Rendez-vous. In the spirit of the film, Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville transports audiences to the exciting streets of 1920s Paris and Le Jazz Hot. ~Flynn Center catalog
