DIVA Orchestra - Time in a Bottle (Orchestral and theatrical cover of Jim Croce's music)
Short TV version
--------------------------------------------
Time in a bottle is a classical American song, written and played by Jim Croce in 1973.
This music video, from a unique orchestral arrangement of the original track and performed by the DIVA Orchestra, was shot in only one day during the pandemic at the historical monument "Theatre de la Renaissance" in Paris. A major and famous theater built in 1872 by Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas.
References to the classical french movie "Les enfants du Paradis" ("Children of Paradise") by Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert feature in this video.
The set gathered more than 40 characters, artists and so on…
The song was performed by the French singer Coralie Royer, surrounded by many European artists, including members of the Wiener Royal Orchestra.
A story more than a music video, it is also the first project directed by Aurélien Durand, and the very first short film produced by VOXO Productions.
Note: This music video is also available in an extended version.
