Moulin Rouge!

Summary of the musical Moulin Rouge! :

The action takes place in Montmartre la Belle Époque (at the beginning of the XNUMXth century). Christian is a young composer, fallen in love with Satine, cabaret actress and star of the Moulin Rouge. The Moulin Rouge is going bankrupt and Harold Zeigler, the owner of the club, is ready to do anything to save his theater and its actors. He arranges Satine with the duke, a rich man looking for a wife. Harold hopes she will get the Duke to invest money to save the Moulin Rouge.
Harold doesn't know anything about the Duke's violent past. This puts an obstacle between Christian and Satine. But love still prevails, as it follows the Bohemian ideals of "truth", "beauty", "freedom" and "love".

With a pop score of artists ranging from Rolling Stones to Beyonce to David Bowie, Moulin Rouge! is a unique spectacle.
