George Michael sings in opera house

Where pop meets opera

Singer George Michael has become the first international pop star to perform in Paris' Opera Garnier, a venue more known as a stage for classical music and opera, The Associated Press reports. The British star performed Sunday evening, as part of his "Symphonica Tour," to support a French AIDS charity, Sidaction. He was cheered on by a roll call of celebrities including "The Artist" actress Berenice Bejo, fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and Charlie Chaplin's actress granddaughter Dolores Chaplin.
