This week, we dive into the world of classical music. We meet one of the most inspiring voices of her generation, mezzo-soprano Léa Desandre. She welcomes us into one of the French capital's temples of classical music, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.

Next, it's off to La Seine Musicale to attend rehearsals for one of the most difficult pieces of music to play: "Rach 3", Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto, conducted by Mathieu Herzog at the helm of the Appassionato ensemble.

Finally, we head to Athens for a look at the first museum entirely dedicated to opera singer Maria Callas.
