Le Figaro
selects for you a list of events not to be missed to spend a good weekend in Nice.
That of October 21 to 23, the first weekend of the All Saints holidays, promises to be radiant.
The mercury could flirt with 24 degrees on Saturday in the Baie des Anges, with good clearings in anticipation.
Laetitia Casta on the boards
From Friday evening, meet at the Anthéa Theater in Antibes to watch the actress and model, Lætitia Casta, on stage as Clara Haskil, a high-flying pianist, relatively unknown to the general public.
This artist, born in 1895, had yet been described as a
"true genius"
by Charlie Chaplin himself.
Accompanied by Isil Bengi on the piano, Lætitia Casta embarks the public on the existence, both extraordinary and tragic, of the pianist of Romanian and Swiss origin.
In
Nice Matin
, the actress evokes the trajectory of a young girl “
for whom the piano was above all a game, something very pure
”
.
And to add:
It was the adults who put her in a straightjacket, with a lot of pressure.
So much so that she always felt like she wasn't up to it.
