Paris played host to an intimate and captivating performance by Helena on Monday, February 16, 2026, as part of the Concerts Très Très Privés RTL2 series held at the historic Studios Ferber. The concert, a launch to a week of exclusive live sessions, showcased Helena’s ability to connect with an audience on a deeply personal level.
The evening was skillfully guided by Sylvain Alexis, who set a warm and inviting tone. Transforming the studio into a cozy salon, Alexis highlighted the unique spirit of these exclusive concerts before building anticipation for Helena’s performance. He engaged the audience by leading a singalong of her popular tracks, Mélatonine and Tout a changé, demonstrating the audience’s familiarity with her music.
Dressed in white, Helena arrived with her musicians and opened with Mon piano et moi, immediately establishing a delicate and intimate atmosphere. She quickly demonstrated her natural ability to connect with her fans, playfully acknowledging the close proximity to the audience and engaging in casual conversation.
This direct connection resonated throughout the night, with the audience enthusiastically singing along to favorites like Mélatonine, Capuche, and Adieu mon amour. Many attendees expressed visible emotion, touched by the opportunity to experience such a rare and personal performance. Helena reciprocated this energy, expressing gratitude to her long-time supporters.
The atmosphere intensified during a piano-voice segment, where Helena invited the audience to sit and created an even more intimate setting before performing Summerbody, a song she described as important and empowering. The attentive silence, focused gazes, and collective singing underscored the moment’s significance.
Having gained prominence after appearing on Star Academy, Helena has since established herself as an artist known for her personal and direct songwriting, blending pop sensibilities with heartfelt confessions. This concert perfectly reflected her evolution: a confident performer who retains her authenticity and emotional depth.
The concert concluded with performances of Mauvais garçon and Gentil garçon, followed by Helena’s thanks to RTL2, the production team, and the audience.
