Paris Explodes with Longest Fireworks Display
Display location:the St. Cloud park
City:Paris
Date:Sept.12
Details: The St. Cloud park in Paris is normally calm and tranquil, but on Sunday it turned into a deafening celebration of music and explosives.
The fireworks illuminated the park for two-and-a-half hours, making it the longest fireworks display in Europe. Three tons of explosives were used in the display.
[Jean-Eric Ougier, Artistic Director]:
“We wanted to show that fireworks themselves are enough for a long show, a real big spectacle, so we chose a real duration, two hours like a feature film. We will see if people have had enough, but I don't think so.”
Pianist Francois-Rene Duchable added to the celebration with his music — he was on a 12-meter crane amid the fireworks.
Duchable and his piano were surrounded by explosions and smoke, mixing the music and fireworks physically and acoustically, making it a real “pyroconcert."
[Madame Vera, Spectator]:
"It's wonderful, I love the pianist as well. I am very happy to hear him again here. I saw him a lot in Talloires, near Annecy. I love him, I love what he does, and with all these fireworks, it is fantastic.”
Other spectators were slightly put off by the duration and the size of the spectacle.
[Natalie Montagnier, Spectator]:
"It's great, it's magnificent, it's really well done but people aren't really comfortable, that is the reproach I have.”
A total of 23 thousand tickets were sold and there was a positive reaction to the artistic composition, and the fireworks.
