<h3>Can't make the live event? Buy a ticket for the recording and watch the event in your own time!</h3>On this tour, follow the tragic and romantic life of France's most beloved singer ever, Edith Piaf, the Little Sparrow. From her childhood in her grandmother's brothel to the airplane accident that killed her great love, boxer Marcel Cerdan, to her early death brought on by alcoholism and drug addiction, Piaf had a lot to overcome. But overcome she did, in glorious renditions of great pop hits written for or with her like La vie en rose or Non, je ne regrette rien. For an hour, Professor Lear and his fabulous Paris guide, Edith de Belleville, will guide you through the story and places of Piaf's life and the meaning of her songs—all closely connected to her life—and they will also introduce you to several other great French singers, such as Yves Montand and Charles Aznavour, whose careers Piaf helped to start.When will the Zoom invite come?The Zoom invite is in your confirmation email.
