A singer with a captivating voice and a key figure on the Franco-Algerian music scene, Souad Massi has been weaving a universe for over twenty years that blends folk, chaâbi, Sahelian influences and South American sounds.

Souad Massi Symphonic

Opéra Comédie

Vivaldi's Stabat Mater , a masterpiece of purity and beauty, finds a new resonance here thanks to the joint interpretation of La Camera delle Lacrime (Clermont-Ferrand) and the Concert de l'Hostel Dieu (Lyon).

Adapted for tenor, this moving version explores the Virgin's pain with rare intensity, enriched by 13th-century lauds from the Cortona Manuscript.

Between baroque fervor and expressive depth, this creation reveals all the richness of Vivaldi's language. A spiritual immersion where music and stage gestures blend into a sensitive experience, both luminous and deeply introspective.

Stabat Mater

Église Saint-Genès-Les-Carmes

Strong and yet vulnerable – on the international music scene, Souad Massi's voice is unmistakable. The Algerian began her career as a member of a heavy metal band, later establishing herself as a singer-songwriter in her exile home of Paris. In her songs, Souad Massis mixes elements of French chanson and Algerian music with folk rock and country music. Her music addresses existential themes such as freedom, justice and female self-determination. In her programme Sequana, she sings about the fragility of nature.
