Michel Sardou has made a good resolution for 2023: as of January 1, he decided to work on his best asset, his vocal organ, by taking singing lessons in order to be at the best of his artistic form for his big comeback on stage scheduled for next fall.
In an interview with our colleagues from
the Pays d'Auge
, the proud son of Jackie and Fernand Sardou showed that he took his comeback very seriously.
He wants to both reassure his admirers and surprise them with new things: “
I'm not interested in repeating what I've already offered in my last shows.
Besides, I noticed it for the musical, when they are offered something different, people react differently.
You shouldn't believe that the public is there to watch you, it's a partner.
He knows the songs and you have to manage to surprise him with what he already knows and that's the secret.
That's what I'm trying to do
."

Sardou will do vocalizations
Sardou will look 76 years old when he begins his recital tour in October.
He knows he has to work on his voice so as not to disappoint his admirers, some of whom have been following him for more than half a century.
In
Pays d'Auge
, he explained how he designs his artistic preparation: "
...You should know that from the age of 50, you lose treble.
But what you lose in treble, you gain in bass.
There is no bass limit.
As I have quite tonic and hard songs, I have to raise my tone.
That's working with singing teachers who make me do vocals.
This will allow me to gain two or three tones.
So it will be more or less the same thing but without a high C, that I forget.
I can not anymore.
Indeed, we no longer climb the stairs as quickly as before.
Unfortunately
