Jean-Michel Jarre - Live in Sevilla - ARTE Concert

 

Premiered Dec 15, 2025 

Michel Jarre dévoile un concert-spectacle immersif au cœur de la somptueuse Plaza de España de Séville, transformée en écrin scénique d’exception le temps d’une soiré
 
Après la Cité Interdite, les pyramides de Gizeh, l’Acropole d’Athènes ou encore Notre-Dame de Paris, le pionnier visionnaire des musiques électroniques investit un nouveau joyau architectural : 
  1. la majestueuse Plaza de España. Pensé comme un dialogue permanent entre musique immersive et technologie visuelle, 
  2. le concert "Live in Sevilla" revisite ses titres emblématiques 
- de "Oxygene" à "Equinoxe", 
- de "Zoolookologie" aux "Chants Magnétiques", 
- de "Robots Don’t Cry" à "Stardust" 
– tout en proposant, en avant-première, la découverte des œuvres "Oxymore", "Epica" ou "Brutalism". 
 
L’artiste entraîne le public dans une traversée musicale intemporelle et spatialisée. 
 
Enregistré au cours de sa tournée européenne 2025, ce spectacle, porté par une scénographie et des créations visuelles conçues par l’artiste à l’aide de l’IA, entrelace musique électronique, vidéo et architectures de lasers et de lumières. 
 
 Filmé le 8 juillet 2025 à l'Icónica Santalucía Sevilla Fest, à Séville. 
 
Le festival Icónica Santalucía Sevilla Fest a donné une nouvelle dimension à la Plaza de España conçue par Aníbal González comme un auditorium à ciel ouvert pour l’Exposition ibéro-américaine de 1929.

THE SCOOP
As President Donald Trump’s administration increases pressure on Venezuela, his allies are quietly working behind the scenes to invite opposition leader María Corina Machado to visit the White House, multiple people told Semafor.
  • Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is among those working to get a Machado visit, but he told Semafor that he’d be “surprised” if it came together this week after the Venezuelan opposition leader was injured leaving the country to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. 
  • Still, Scott said he’s trying to make it happen. 

Trump allies seek White House visit for Venezuelan opposition leader

PLEASE NOTE:  
The proposal has not yet reached Trump’s desk and nothing has been finalized. 
 
But given the administration’s continued posture towards Venezuela and its authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro, some allies believe Trump would be open to the visit. 
One person familiar with the situation told Semafor that Machado would like to “present [Trump] with her Nobel medal.”

Machado wants to “formalize the dedication of the prize to show the world that strength is a force for peace,” the person said. “The president is making a lot more friends down in Latin America and María Corina is in the on-deck circle.”

[   } "A senior White House official told Semafor that “no such meeting has been scheduled” and Machado’s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
  1. Such a meeting would prove less controversial than other portions of Trump’s Venezuela policy, like the Pentagon’s two-tap strike on an alleged drug boat in September. 
  2. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has cosponsored resolutions to rein in military activity in the region, said he is “not in favor of initiating war with Venezuela” and that Trump’s policy is “essentially a war for regime change.” 
  3. But he said wouldn’t oppose a visit to Washington by Machado.
Title iconKnow More: In the last few weeks, Trump has continued upping the pressure on Maduro. 
  • The Trump administration recently sanctioned Maduro’s nephews and a number of vessels carrying Venezuelan oil after seizing an oil tanker off the coast. 
  • On Tuesday, the president ordered “a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers” entering an exiting Venezuela, and labeled the “regime” a “foreign terrorist organization.”
