“L’Oiseau Paradis”, the must-see Paradis Latin magazine

Since the launch of its magazine “L'Oiseau Paradis” on May 2, the Paradis Latin has been full! Zoom on this superb show where we find the ex-Miss Universe Iris Mittenaere as a review leader. Quite discreet in recent years, the Paradis Latin has come back stronger than ever. This mythical cabaret of the 80s and 90s is reborn from its ashes, offering a new revue for 9 months of performances, 6 evenings a week. The star of this new show? Iris Mittenaère. After having shone during the 9th season of Dancing with the Stars - and playing the guest for Jean Paul Gaultier's "Fashion Freak Show" during 7 performances - the ex-Miss Universe seems to have had a real crush on this art. For several months, the leader of the review was therefore trained by a director and choreographer well known to the public: Kamel Ouali (The Sun King, Cleopatra, The Ten Commandments, Gone with the Wind, etc.) To accompany Iris, a casting international of 1000 candidates was achieved, among which …

The most famous cabaret in the world celebrates its 130th anniversary!

Since its opening on October 6, 1889, the Moulin Rouge has crossed the ages and remains the scene of the most beautiful Parisian evenings whose fame and prestige are well established! The beautiful history of this cradle of the Music Hall, a source of inspiration for many artists, has very often been highlighted by the 7th art. We remember in particular the film 'French Cancan' directed in 1954 by Jean Renoir, 'Moulin Rouge' by John Huston in 1952, or the mythical feature film 'Moulin Rouge' by Baz Luhrmann (2001) starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. Many literary and artistic works – paintings, plays, musicals – have also seen the light of day. At the height of the talented artists who have performed there (Jean Gabin, Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, Frank Sinatra, Charles Aznavour, Elton John, Ray Charles…), the reviews of the Moulin Rouge are always more spectacular! 60 artists performing in sumptuous costumes of feathers, rhinestones and sequins made by hand by exceptional craftsmen combined with …
