Lara’s tour is for the moment on hold as she prepares for the ‘blind auditions’ that will be taking place for “The Voice” in France. The schedule for the filming has been announced, and it will start on Thursday, November 21 and continue the next week. Presumably there is preparatory work Lara has to do, and it probably started early because Lara won’t be around later this week, with a concert in Craiova on November 17th, and then two in Bucharest on the 18th and 19th. She really has to ‘thread the needle’ to be carrying these two full-time jobs at the same time, wending one around the other.
Meanwhile she just finished her latest ‘Russian fairy tale’, surrounded by the opulence that’s part of the “Krutoy experience”. There are a few more videos of the songs she was involved with, some of them quite high quality close-ups:

Here’s the interview inside:
-----------------------------------------
Lara Fabian
More Radiant Than Ever
This fall Lara Fabian goes on an international tour that will take her to the United States, Russia, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and of course, Quebec, her adopted land. It has been quite a ride for this woman of Italian descent; she came from Belgium in the early 1990s and with her unique voice and outstanding energy she was able to conquer the hearts of Quebecers. Millions of albums sold, numerous tours and thousands of shows could not begin to exhaust the passion and simplicity of this artist. Today, Lara Fabian enjoys life more than ever.
We first met in 1991 while shooting the video “Je m’arreterai pas de t’aimer”. I remember you as a passionate young lady both enthusiastic and very friendly. How do you remember your first steps in Quebec?
LF: I remember those moments very fondly. My career choice is no coincidence: both my parents were music lovers. Dad would teach me songs in English and Mom would always be singing around me. The moment that you are referring to is actually the day that my parents came to visit me, at a hanger in Old Montreal. I remember very well the moment that they saw me perform my first video clip, for a debut album that was being financed by their life savings. It reminds me of this heritage, this sacrifice that they made so that their daughter could fulfill her dream.
I like the name “50 World Tour”. Isn’t that number intimidating? Was it important to outline it?
LF: The number is accurate! To me, it is a way of making it look like a simple step instead of a sword of Damocles. Everybody gets old and I’m no exception, but I have a feeling that I will never be scared of aging and my soul will never get old. I’m filled with so much enthusiasm and innocence, and it surpasses my fear of aging. Age is just a number. It does not define who we are.
What strikes me is your elegance. The elegance in your relationship with people but also in your choice of clothing and jewelry.
LF: What moves me in a garment is its timelessness. I have nothing against trends, but they are temporary, even though they can bring lots of joy and happiness. I would rather wear a black Yves Saint-Laurent jacket, a little black dress from Dolce & Gabana, or a creation from Montagne because they will truly seduce me while providing me with elegance, sophistication, and a certain amount of comfort. Comfort is very important when you’re on stage; you don’t want the garment to interfere with the performance.
I also notice that you don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but they are very well chosen. Your wedding ring is particularly stunning.
LF: It is my first wedding ring. I got married under Celtic rituals. There is a wedding band that your wear in the circle when you get married and another one you wear in front of men. So I have two wedding rings. My diamond ring is a bit more flamboyant and I don’t wear it as much in public. During the Celtic rituals I got married in front of the five elements. First in a circle with my husband only, then in front of the men. This type of wedding is the most ancestral and ancient in human history. It’s wonderful.
Your latest album is entitled Papillon. It is because you get butterflies in your stomach when you see your husband?
LF: In part, yes! (laughs). Who wouldn’t? But honestly, the butterfly is a reference to my mother and grandmother. It is a symbol they have given me to remind me to always be aware of – to remind me that life is happening today, not yesterday and tomorrow. The butterfly is an ephemeral insect. What would we do if we only had 24 hours, three months, or a week left? Something else, surely.
This feeling must be stronger than ever when you see your parents go. You recently lost your mother, and even though we can prepare for it, the feeling is always terrible.
LF: It’s a wound that doesn’t heal easily. Our mothers prepare us for everything except living without them. This pain is linked to my childhood, the little girl in me has a very hard time dealing with this sadness. However, the adult in me understands that she was sick and suffered a lot – a woman who once was so beautiful, so brilliant. I am glad that she was able to find relief, but the little girl in me still hurts a great deal.
Do you feel this tour will be more intense? That you will live it more fully?
LF: Yes, I believe it will be more intense, and I think I will allow myself to bring my family with me more often. I’m very pragmatic, kind of ‘Capricorn’ with my daughter. However the tour, the death of my mom, and my increasing desire to live life to the fullest are leading me to break certain rules. Family is like a tribe.

In other news, “MusiquePlus” was a music video channel in Quebec for many years, but it has now closed, and a new channel will replace it focused on women’s programming. In that regard there’s the following article from ARP.Media at arp.media/nouvelles/combat-clips-de-ladisq-2019-lara-fabian-vs-bleu-jeans-bleu/?fbclid=IwAR1DKce7PBJNzG9vBaPz7W1IqH24fPLDp7v75mnohJqibIwzeLtnuV02i5c

Battle the clips of the ADISQ 2019: Lara Fabian vs Blue Blue Jeans
During the first ADISQ gala (October 23rd), we talked with the various musical personalities about the definitive closure of MusiquePlus. As many artists mentioned that they were bored by the Battle clips, we thought it would be cool to propose a video tournament in the coming weeks.
The formula: A tournament of 16 video clips will crown a champion who will win the Battle of the clips of the ADISQ 2019. As seventh fight, the legend confronts the sensation of the moment. What better to ask for? May the best win!
----------------------------
Lara’s clip is that for Papillon while Blue Jean Blue has Cotton Ouaté. You can vote by adding your comment below on that link (though you may have to register to do so). Looking at the first 30 or so votes, it’s a runaway for Lara.

Finally, from the ‘Lara Fabian Bien Plus Qu’une Passion. Corse Reunion” site,
scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/74524011_1254691661391674_2398396569440223232_o.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_oc=AQnEGBG-xQ9WzT9CKy8Bb9bxPrRkeoU8w_tnAr-MH-xsrMoshPX94nqeQZKiaHvKKbM&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=939a24ba19ee4f72ee73fce3ff9861b7&oe=5E6221F8
With Lara likely engrossed in her orientation for ‘The Voice’, she had little time to post things to her Instagram or Facebook sites, and this may well continue for the next period of time. She will be giving those three concerts in Romania in the next week, so there may well be some videos made available.
As to carrying these double jobs, she will have to be jumping from one work experience to a completely different one, but by now, she has the concert show pretty well down, and everyone probably knows what to expect. It’s the French TV show that will be new, yet even that will be reminiscent of La Voix. It won’t air until February 2020, with some publicity undoubtedly before then. A busy time for her; hopefully she will take it all in stride.
