It’s a visual and auditory feast that has captivated audiences across the globe.

Genesis of the Monumental Tour, The artistic vision of Michael Canitrot, conceived the idea behind the Monumental Tour. He wanted to take the traditional concert experience to an unprecedented level. Rather than performing in usual concert venues, Canitrot used some of the world’s most breathtaking historical places as the backdrop. This vision was not just to enhance the beauty of the performance but also to bring people closer to history, making them appreciate it in a whole new light.
A Journey Through Time and Space Throughout the tour, Canitrot and his team have graced a multitude of historical venues. Some of the notable mentions include:
Pierrefonds Castle: This majestic castle, built for Louis d’Orléans at the end of the XIVth century, saw a revival in the XIXth century. Commissioned by the emperor Napoleon III, it was restored by Viollet-le-Duc, breathing new life into its grand walls. The Monumental Tour here was akin to a journey back in time, as modern rhythms resonated within ancient walls.
Lisbon City Hall, Portugal: The heart of Portugal, Praça do Município, witnessed a gathering of over 5,000 people. The splendid Lisbon City Hall provided a scintillating backdrop, making the concert a communal experience.
Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey: An architectural marvel, this abbey provided an ethereal setting for the Monumental Tour. Its towering presence, combined with Michael’s music, was nothing short of magical.
The Palais-Royal in Paris: The grandeur of Paris met the majesty of music at the Palais-Royal, making it a night to remember for all attendees.
The Cathedral Notre-Dame of Laon: A Gothic masterpiece from the 12th century, its monumental stature and intricate design provided an enchanting atmosphere for the performance.
Recently, on October 20th, the Monumental Tour made its mark in Italy, where 10,000 attendees were entranced by the performance set against the backdrop of Palazzo Ducale in Piazza Matteotti in Genoa.
The Talent Behind the Spectacle, Michael Canitrot’s vision would have remained incomplete without the immense talent that joined him on this journey. Various artists, both renowned and emerging, lent their voices and skills to the tour. These artists, combined with the state-of-the-art sound systems and light displays, turned each show into a grand spectacle.
The Monumental Tour is more than just a series of concerts. It’s an homage to the world’s architectural and historical marvels. It reminds us of the beauty that exists in the confluence of the past and the present, of music and monuments.
