Le Serment d’Opéra

Le Serment d’Opéra

The Program

Knowing one’s voice, being moved by its power or its gentleness, learning to touch, observing oneself, breathing together, moving within a defined space—these are all emotions and skills essential for understanding the world. In partnership with L’Atelier Cognac-Jay, the Child Welfare Services of Paris, the Paris Experimental Speech and Educational Center (CEOP), and the Robert Debré Hospital School Center, the Academy offers discovery programs of the Paris National Opera for children and young people.

Led by artists from the Paris National Opera, the artistic practice workshops held at the Opéra Bastille as part of the Le Serment d’Opéra program are spaces for sharing, allowing each participant to develop body awareness and interpersonal connection.

The exhibition Le Serment d’Opéra, presented from May 17 to September 21, 2024, at the Carré de Baudouin, is the result of a partnership between the Sainte-Anne Hospital Center of the GHU Paris Psychiatry & Neurosciences and the Academy of the Paris National Opera.

To support this arts and cultural education program for patients and healthcare staff, the Academy of the Paris National Opera commissioned photographer Frédéric Stucin to capture the encounters between participants and the artists of the Paris National Opera. This artistic project is structured around three formats: diptychs created at the Palais Garnier that stage a dialogue between patients, healthcare staff, and the Ballet dancers; close-up portraits of the participants; and snapshots of bodies in motion during artistic practice workshops at the Opéra Bastille and Palais Garnier.

Frédéric Stucin

The photographer created the series “Les Interstices” in 2022, which will be published by Éditions Filigrane and exhibited in Strasbourg. In 2020, his series “Le Décor”, produced in Paris during the lockdown, was awarded the Eurazeo Prize. This series was also exhibited at the Hôtel de l’Industrie starting in April 2022. His photographs have been shown in several exhibitions, most recently at Villa Pérochon in Niort, the Portrait(s) Festival in Vichy, and the Hangar Photo Art Center in Brussels.

More recently, he co-wrote and co-directed a photographic short film with Olivier Jahan, La Femme de 8h47, produced by Vagabonds Films and Majie Films, scheduled for release in spring 2022. In 2023, he exhibited Les Interstices in Strasbourg. He has also been nominated for and received numerous awards: in 2021 and 2022 for the Niépce Prize, in 2022 for the Swiss Life à quatre Mains Prize, and in 2023 for the Leica Oskar Barnack Prize. With Radioscopie de la France: Regards sur un pays traversé par la crise sanitaire, he won the 2022 major photographic commission organized by the BnF.

He has published several books: Endorphine (Éditions Filigranes, 2021) with contributions from Didier Daeninckx, Only Bleeding (Éditions du Bec en l’air, 2019), and Trois étoiles (catalogue of the Musée Nicéphore Niépce exhibition, 2016). The author Marie NDiaye, Goncourt Prize 2009, wrote the introductory text for his latest book, La Source, published by Éditions Maison CF.
