Sting in Saint Malo du Bois...
Well, eight waiting hours for two and a half hour concert. And it was well worth it!
We mean other fans of new friends at the door of the sublime theater of Poupet. I have never met such a beautiful space. Even with a light rain, the beauty of the place remains the same.
We were able to attend the rehearsals, with Sting (who worked on "Demolition Man" with his band).
We were also interviewed for a french newspaper (Ouest France), a radio (Hit West), and we even went live on french TV (France 3) for opening doors... but the sprint we ran to the best places made a very stealth video!
Regarding the concert, I've never been so close to the stage: two feet separated the barriers from the stage, and Sting was just two meters from my dazzled eyes. In terms of sound, we almost only had the direct stage sound, just like if we were among them.
A great atmosphere for this concert identical to all others in this tour, but the difference stood in the fact that we could be standing in the pit, giving a small "rock concert" mood for a live symphonic. This made the seriousness and sacredness of classical instruments quickly vanished.

Poupet. Sting sweeps the audience away in a symphony...
"I'm very happy to be here for the first time," Sting declared between two songs, shortly after his debut at the Poupet Festival. A sober and classy atmosphere reigned on the stage of the open-air theater. The star performed the great classics that made his success with The Police and solo. "Roxanne," "Englishman in New York," "Russians"... The English artist was accompanied by a 45-piece symphony orchestra, conducted by Sarah Hicks, and a group of musicians. Nostalgia and serenity reigned in the Poupet Valley at the moment.
