OPÉRA D'ÉTÉ 2024

In keeping with its public service mission, the Opéra national de Paris encourages free outdoor performances of operatic and choreographic works recorded in its theaters, the Palais Garnier or the Opéra Bastille, during the summer, either in the open air or in a suitable heritage venue.

This is the purpose of the "Opéra d'été" event, which has been running since 2013, and to which the Opéra national de Paris is particularly committed.

CENDRILLON by Jules Massenet

Director: Mariame Clément

Although inspired by Perrault's fairy tale, Jules Massenet's Cendrillon joyfully diverges from it: there is no pumpkin or carriage, and even less of a fairy slipper to be tried on. What is the point, since Cinderella and Prince Charming recognise each other immediately?

ROMÉO ET JULIETTE by Charles Gounod

Director: Thomas Jolly

How many composers have been inspired by the two lovers from Verona depicted by Shakespeare? From Vincenzo Bellini and Hector Berlioz to Leonard Bernstein, the list is long. If Charles Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, first performed during the Universal Exhibition of 1867, enjoyed immediate popularity it is doubtless because this is the version that translates the tumultuous lives of the celebrated lovers with the greatest finesse.

THE NUTCRACKER by Rudolf Nureyev

One Christmas Eve, young Clara is given an inanimate puppet, a nutcracker. Holding it in her arms, she falls asleep and dreams of a fantasy world where toys and fears come to life. Published in Berlin in 1816, this tale by Hoffmann, a master of German Romanticism, inspired Marius Petipa to create an initial dance version in 1892.

MAURICE BÉJART

The partnership between Maurice Béjart and the Paris Opera lasted for over forty years and provided the institution with more than twenty pieces. In a tribute to this choreographer who died fifteen years ago, the Paris Opera Ballet presents three works initially created during the seventies and which all shine with equal choreographic and musical intensity.

The Opéra national de Paris invites you to a unique opportunity to (re)discover the finest works of the operatic and choreographic repertoire.
