Composer and Conductor BENOÎT CHAREST
In 2003 the animated French feature The
Triplets of Belleville swept the globe, raking
up dozens of awards and nominations—not to
mention the hearts of countless admirers—
along the way. Much of it came down to the
Oscar-nominated score by Benoît Charest,
which grabbed audiences by the ears and
dragged them into the streets of 1920s Paris
and Le Jazz Hot.

Benoît is back, and in Australia for the first time.
With his Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville he
recreates live the original score as the film
itself is beamed onto the big screen. Saddle
up for the misadventures of a kidnapped
Tour de France cyclist, his would-be rescuer
grandmother and the titular trio of larger-thanlife divas, all accompanied by the speakeasyslick sounds of un orchestre sans pareil.
