More than five years after it was ravaged by fire, France’s iconic Notre-Dame de Paris has reopened its doors with a star-studded concert to celebrate its restoration. Performances took place both inside and outside the cathedral on Saturday night (7 December), plus there was a stunning light display showcasing the building’s beautiful façade.

The rainy weather failed to dampen spirits as the cathedral hosted performances from a wide range of artists including Pharrell Williams, Angélique Kidjo, Lang Lang, Benjamin Bernheim, Marion Cotillard, Yo-Yo Ma, Khatia Buniatishvili, Pretty Yende and Daniel Lozakovich. Gustavo Dudamel conducted the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France throughout the concert. Earlier in the opening ceremony, organist Olivier Latry delivered a spine-tingling moment as he reawakened the cathedral’s famous pipes, plus there were performances from Renaud and Gautier Capuçon and Nadine Sierra.

Following their appearance, Lang Lang and Benjamin Bernheim will release a special duet as a tribute to Notre-Dame. They have recorded the Jacques Brel favourite ‘Quand on n’a que l’amour’ (‘When You Only Have Love’) in a new arrangement by Randy Kerber – to be released as a digital single on Deutsche Grammophon this Friday (13 December).

The historic concert is now available to watch as a catch-up stream on Deutsche Grammophon’s STAGE+ platform (available worldwide, except in France, Germany and Australia)
