Performances at Forest Theater, Carmel, Mountain View and Santa Rita Ave.

The Monterey Symphony presents Love Letter to Paris September 16 and 17 at 6:30 PM at the outdoor Forest Theater in Carmel.
Take a moonlit walk through the music of Paris—past, present, and cinematic.

Join the Monterey Symphony for our fifth Love Letter concert, a sparkling celebration of Paris and the unforgettable music it has inspired. From Offenbach’s high-spirited Can Can to Fauré’s lush Pavane and Gershwin’s jazzy An American in Paris, the evening brims with beauty.

We’re thrilled to feature three phenomenal vocalists: Love Letter favorite Malinda DeRouen returns to bring the timeless Édith Piaf classics La Foule and La Vie en rose to life; Bernard Holcomb joins Leberta Lorál for a showstopping Phantom of the Opera duet; and Lorál dazzles in Bizet’s Habanera and Michel Legrand’s I Will Wait for You.

You’ll also hear music from beloved films, including Beauty and the Beast, Ratatouille, Amélie, and more! This is your passport to a Parisian dreamscape—romantic, nostalgic, and utterly enchanting. Join the Monterey Symphony for a passionate homage to the city that continues to inspire the world’s greatest music and films.
