“I’ll never forget Portugal,” says Aznavour – Diário de Notícias – Lisbon

Charles Aznavour acted last night in Lisbon

it Was a Meo Arena completely packed that yesterday evening received by Charles Aznavour. At the age of 92, the French singer quickly made him forget to mention the nostalgia that will have taken most of the gifts to the hall of lisbon, such was the vitality with which they presented on stage to “sing songs of yesterday, today and tomorrow”, as the own announced.

the dean of The chanson française surprised not only by the voice – as always we know it – but also by the playfulness with which he presented on stage, before an audience fully surrendered to the charm and sense of humor of Piaf. “I’ll never forget Portugal, because it was the first country of the foreign language for which I worked”, he recalled the given height.

For almost two hours, Charles Aznavour sang, danced, laughed, touched, and thrilled, when, on more than one occasion, the thousands of people present heard him in complete silence. After all, it’s not every day you get to be like this, in the eyes, in front of a “divinity of music”, as it was called. Because it is immortality that is, when they hear themes such as She, Ave Maria or La Bohème to be sung as well, as if it were always for the first time.
