Automatically translated. Read the original French text.

This sung tour of Montmartre pays tribute to the voices that resisted, to the songs that carried courage, hope, and freedom when words alone were no longer enough. Through the history-steeped alleys of the Butte, the voice becomes living memory and an act of transmission.

Along the way, the great anthems of the Resistance and committed songs resonate in the public space, unamplified, just as they once did. Iconic works such as Le Chant des Partisans, La Marseillaise in its original strength, Bella Ciao, L'Hymne des femmes, Le Déserteur, and Le Temps des cerises are performed and placed back in their historical, political, and human context. These songs tell of struggle, but also of disobedience, dignity, peace, and freedom.

The place of women in the Resistance is fully asserted, recalling their essential role, long made invisible. The voice here becomes a tool of memory, as well as civic reflection, accessible to all.

This experience was created and is led by Veronica Antonelli, soprano and operatic artist, the only woman officially authorized to sing in the alleys of Montmartre, where she has made her voice resonate since 2013 through in situ sung tours that have become a cultural reference.

Diva Montmartre makes these national and international anthems echo where History was lived, right alongside residents and within the public space.

The tour will be offered on symbolic dates of the memorial calendar, linked to major national and historical celebrations, notably 8 May, 14 July, 25 August, and 11 November, in order to anchor this experience in a true time of commemoration and transmission.

This sung tour is not a static concert, but a vibrant walking journey where emotion, memory, and meaning take center stage. It is aimed at all those who wish to understand how, in Montmartre and elsewhere, the voice became an act of resistance, a breath of freedom in the face of oppression.

Come reclaim our anthems!
