Eric Serra

On November 27, 2026, the Arena du Pays d’Aix in Aix-en-Provence will host Éric Serra for a live concert focused on his film music. A composer and multi-instrumentalist, he brings to the stage the sonic material that defines his signature: enveloping synths, electronic textures, organic percussion and instantly recognizable melodic themes. On the program are his collaborations with Luc Besson, from The Big Blue to Nikita, Léon and Subway, as well as the hybrid, futuristic aesthetic of The Fifth Element. The set also reaches to GoldenEye, underscoring his ability to move from European cinema to international productions without losing his distinctive touch.

Arranged for the live setting, these scores gain in depth, oscillating between nervous pulses, orchestral tensions and more contemplative passages. Serra navigates them with the freedom of a stage musician, shaping dynamics, timbres and contrasts to breathe new life into themes etched in the audience’s memory. A concert that spotlights a cornerstone repertoire of film music, performed by its composer and closely attuned to the energy of the moment.
