French DJ, producer, and Monumental Tour founder Michael Canitrot marked the grand reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris with a mesmerizing performance that blended music and visuals.
Broadcast to millions on French TV, Canitrot’s show celebrated the cathedral’s stunning architecture while sharing a message of hope, unity, and inspiration with audiences worldwide.
A passionate advocate for cultural heritage and French electronic music, Canitrot crafted a unique experience by integrating elements from Notre-Dame itself. He drew inspiration from the iconic bells, intricate artworks, the Maîtrise Notre-Dame choir, and the classical design of the cathedral. “I want to convey a universal message so that everyone can connect with my music and feel inspired to say,” Canitrot shared, “and inspire people to say, ‘I want to come back and visit Notre-Dame..'”
This performance is part of Canitrot’s Monumental Tour, a project combining electronic music, digital art, and light design to showcase cultural landmarks. From Mont-Saint-Michel and the Eiffel Tower to the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza, where 45,000 fans gathered, his breathtaking events have reached tens of millions of viewers online and in person.
Canitrot’s ability to fuse art, music, and heritage continues to redefine how we experience iconic landmarks.
