Claude-Michel Schönberg’s music and the adaptation by Alain Boublil reproduce the revolutionary elan in France from the times of the next transformation in a row in the state government of the country, described in Victor Hugo’s novel of the same name. The main story in it is built around the character of the former prisoner Jean Valjean, who sees the power of good in the world, although he cannot escape from his dark past. Beginning in 1815, the narrative reaches its culmination in 1832 with the June Rebellion in Paris on the barricades, following the life path and the relations of several personages, and most concretely the sufferings of the former convict Jean Valjean and his redemption.

The production "Les Misérables" is on the stage over 30 years with more than 10 000 performances, seen by over 60 million spectators in 42 countries in 22 languages!
