The Triplets of Belleville Cine-Concert
Benoît Charest, composer and conductor
Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville
The charming animated French feature film The Triplets of Belleville swept the globe when it was released in movie theaters in 2003, raking up dozens of awards and nominations and attracting a cult following among film buffs. Through music and images (and almost no dialogue), writer-director Sylvain Chomet tells a story of a caper involving American gangsters, Tour de France cyclists, and a trio of colorful vaudevillian sisters out to expose a crime ring. Composer Benoît Charest leads his eight-piece orchestra in a live version of his Oscar-nominated score, evoking the streets of 1920s Paris and "Le Jazz Hot" and featuring fun live sound effects to accompany the film. "[A] bracing blend of silliness and sophistication.... It's comic, touching and a visual knockout" (Rolling Stone).
