mellody Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Maybe it's because I watched a 12 minute French interview without understanding much, but I think his eyes look stunning! Anyway at some point I think he tells the complete Annie Lennox / Dalai Lama story. And what does he say about "Die Frau ohne Schatten", apart from that he sang in it as a child? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new, only that he performed in that opera when he was 9 y.o. and from that moment he got the "red-golden" virus ( the colors of a theater). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 He talks about the twins who taught him the piano, one for the right hand, one for the left hand. He explains that in the first film "The greatest showman", he was the one who had to write the music. And that for the moment he is not yet ready to write for musicals even if he has been asked several times; because for the moment real life is too absurd for him. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does he mean by "first film", was there another version of that movie before the one with Hugh Jackman? I can't find anything about it on the web.

When the film was in preparation, there were several projects and the producer who had commissioned Mika left, so it didn't happen in the final version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks! Maybe that's what "Century Man" would've been for, I had always wondered about it... So does it seem from the interview that Mika was glad he didn't have to do it, or sad about missing this chance, or did he say he was glad only to cover his disappointment?

He said that he even met Hugh Jackman in his lodge at the Oscars to talk about the movie project, but in the end it didn't happen. He said that he like only a few musical comedies ( West Side Story for ex. or Les Chansons D'Amour ). He found this project very hard to sell to the audience, too fake, and this is not something that he wants to take part of. So it seems that he is not regretting at all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was was talking about musicals in general - hard to sell. When it's too "fake" it doesn't touch him and he can't work in project like this. Musical should be "fluent" (smooth), artistic (ex. West Side Story). So maybe one day he will write a musical, but for the moment real life is more absurd for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows how important are the questions during an interview, if more reporters would stop asking the same things again and again.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the first stadium of the project to write the music. But with time the production team was replaced by another one and of course Mika couldn't continue. You can find it all in this thread (above). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
