Message to spectators

The performance of Raymonda on December 5 was unfortunately unable to take place because of national industrial action concerning pension reform. The Paris Opera apologizes for this cancellation.
Given the right of employees to declare industrial action up until the scheduled performance time, the Opera was not able to inform the audience earlier and apologizes for this too.
This situation is likely to recur over the coming days. As of now, the exchange of tickets, free of charge, for another date or another performance during the season, is possible.  

The Paris Opera proposes either:

  • A ticket exchange1 for another performance date of this ballet (from 6 to 31 December 2019), according to availability2 or for another production of the 2019-2020 season.
    Ticket exchange will be possible until Thursday 12 December 2019:
    - at the box office of the Opéra Bastille and the Palais Garnier,
    - by telephone on + 33 1 73 60 23 23, from Monday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.

  • A refund:
    - the purchases paid with a credit card (online, by phone or by mail, excluding purchases made at the box office) will automatically be refunded from Friday 13 December 2019 on the bank account used for the payment;
    - for the others: refund by post, within approximately one month, after reception of ticket(s), personal details and a Visa, MasterCard, American Express payment card number along with expiry date, or a French bank "RIB" (I.B.A.N with the code B.I.C).

    These documents should be sent to us before 5 March 2020 at the address below:

    SC RAYMONDA 05/12 - 120 rue de Lyon - 75576 Paris Cedex 12- FRANCE
