"Vivre" from Notre Dame de Paris - Cover

The night before her demise, Esmeralda sings about living for the one she loves in "Vivre" (the English translation meaning "Live") from one of my favorite French musicals, 'Notre Dame de Paris.'

I was inspired to cover this gorgeous ballad after seeing the New York performance of 'Notre Dame de Paris' last week; it was my first time seeing the show in person after watching the original 1998 concert incessantly in college. It was a dream come true - a shout out to the cast and crew for one of the best stage performances I've ever seen!

Watch the original concert (with subtitles!) here - you won't be disappointed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AnTqOIgPr0

Music: Riccardo Cocciante, Lyrics: Luc Plamondon (French), Will Jennings (English)

Photos are of my favorite Esmeraldas, including Lola Ponce (Italian cast), Hiba Tawaji (current tour) and Hélène Ségara (the original Esmeralda).
