On France's National Day, July 14, 2025, the Concert de Paris was a resounding success, thanks in part to the flawless audio quality delivered by Lawo's IP-based audio infrastructure. The event, which took place at the Champ de Mars under the Eiffel Tower, was attended by over 100,000 people on site and watched by millions more worldwide[1][3][5].

The live broadcast was handled by French public broadcasters and the Eurovision network, with the concert being simulcast by EBU-Eurovision in over 10 countries[2]. To meet the demanding technical requirements of such a large-scale live broadcast production, Lawo provided three mc²56 audio production consoles, ensuring high-quality sound for both live and broadcast audiences[1][4].

Tahar Boukhlifa and Charles Bouticourt managed stage monitoring using a 32-fader mc256 with a 16-fader extender in a two-operator configuration. Nadege Antonini handled the orchestral mix and FOH output using a 48-fader mc256 console. Stéphane Thouvenin managed the soloists and choirs on a 32-fader desk[5]. Christophe Lukaszewski led the team from Radio France, who operated the public address system from an OB truck equipped with an mc266 MkII console, producing the audio clean feed for French radio, television, and the Eurovision network[6].

The concert featured internationally renowned opera singers and soloists such as Aida Garifullina (soprano), Julie Fuchs (soprano), Bruno de Sá (sopranist), Rihab Chaieb (mezzo-soprano), Benjamin Bernheim (tenor), Florian Sempey (baritone), Gautier Capuçon (cello), Dom La Nena (cello), Bomsori Kim (violin), Bohdan Luts (violin), and Saehyun Kim (piano)[1]. The Orchestre National de France, the Choeur, and Maîtrise de Radio France performed in the concert[3].

The concert was followed by a fireworks display from the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadéro gardens, making for a truly unforgettable evening[7]. Lawo's IP-based audio infrastructure played a central role in delivering the high-quality sound that made this event a success, further cementing its reputation for broadcast-grade infrastructure at major national celebrations.
