About
Founded in 2015, the Academy of the Paris National Opera structures its mission around Transmission, Training, and Creation.
The Academy is organized into two divisions: the Professional Training division, intended for young artists and art craftsmen, and the Arts and Cultural Education division, which offers numerous programs and a committed Young Audience program.
Professional training
The Paris Opera Academy trains the next generation of opera singers, orchestral musicians, répétiteurs, opera directors, opera conductors, arts and crafts professionals and, from the 2027–2028 season, chorus artists.
Each season, around thirty artists from around the world come to further their training at the Paris Opera as part of the Academy’s residency programme. Employed under professional training contracts, they gain professional experience through productions at the Opéra Bastille and the Palais Garnier, as well as through the Academy’s programme of concerts, recitals and performances. Open to the world and committed to gender equality and diversity, the programme helps nurture the next generation of performing arts professionals.
From the start of the 2027–2028 season, the Paris Opera will launch a new training programme at the Academy for chorus artists. This initiative aims to introduce a new generation of artists to the culture, artistic identity and expertise of the Paris Opera Chorus. Artists in residence at the Academy benefit from an immersive professional experience with the Paris Opera Chorus, complemented by dedicated training modules.
The Academy also offers an advanced training programme in arts and crafts for young professionals wishing to learn the specialist skills and techniques practised in the Paris Opera’s workshops.
Arts and Cultural Education
To reach everyone, it is necessary to address each person differently. The Academy’s arts and cultural education programs (L’Opéra en Guyane, OpérApprentis, L’Opéra pour moi aussi, Dix Mois d’École et d’Opéra…), developed on a national scale, allow a wide variety of audiences to actively discover the world of opera and ballet.
The Academy’s Young Audience program enables 20,000 new spectators each season to experience works, artists, and companies from around the world, with particular attention to audiences with disabilities and approximately thirty school performances.
