Last weekend, the historic reopening of Notre Dame was marked by a stunning performance from French DJ and producer, Michael Canitrot. His Monumental Tour brought together his musical creations and a mesmerizing visual spectacle.

With millions of people watching the show on the French TV channel Mondovision, the event helped people rediscover the cathedral's unique architecture while spreading a message of inspiration, sharing, and celebration internationally.

Passionate about heritage and an ambassador for French electronic music, Michael Canitrot presented a ‘Monumental’ sequence combining his latest compositions, digital art, and light design, celebrating the magnificence of Notre Dame in a new light. He comments about the historical performance:

"I drew inspiration, both musically and visually, from elements unique to the cathedral: the sound of the bells, the artworks inside, the voices of the Maîtrise Notre-Dame choir, and the classical style." Canitrot adds: "I want to convey a universal message so that everyone can connect with my music and feel inspired to say, 'I want to come back and visit Notre Dame." - Michael Canitrot

Through his ‘Monumental Tour’ concept, he fuses electronic music and heritage to offer unique immersive experiences. Past performances in iconic locations such as the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, the top of the Eiffel Tower for Gustave Eiffel's centenary, and most recently in front of the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza. The performance drew a crowd of over 45,000, and his art continues to impact globally, with videos and social media broadcasts reaching tens of millions of views.
