Bénabar

Bénabar stops in Montpellier on November 29, 2026, at the Opéra Berlioz for a concert centered on his songs, presented as chronicles of everyday life. A singer-songwriter, he shapes stories in chiaroscuro—balancing gentle humor with clear-eyed lucidity—where friendships, families, bistros and small misadventures make their appearance. His signature blends chanson and acoustic pop, with guitars, piano and brass accents, and a taste for catchy choruses and details that linger.

On stage he draws from his entire repertoire, from "Les Risques du Métier" to "Infréquentable", as well as his more recent material. Expect to hear songs that have become touchstones, such as "Le Dîner", "L’Effet papillon" or "Maritie et Gilbert Carpentier", along with a few surprises tailor-made for the stage. His writing—precise and spoken-sung—emphasizes characters and situations, with an energy that alternates spirited numbers and more intimate ballads. The concert is conceived as a narrative thread, where music and words advance together, staying close to what gives everyday life its flavor.
