Since the start of the season, 150 students from 11 conservatoires in Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis have been taking part in the A D O (Apprentissage de l'Orchestre) programme, the first youth lyric orchestra scheme in France.

The Orchestre Rudolf Nureyev, made up of students aged 8 to 14, and the Orchestre Maria Callas, made up of students aged 17 to 25, have been working on the opera and ballet repertoire throughout the season, in rehearsals at their conservatoires, at the Opéra Bastille, with volunteer musicians from the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Paris, under the direction of conductor Victor Jacob, and in choir and dance workshops with artists from the Opéra de Paris.

This evening is an opportunity for the public to discover these two original groups in an original programme under the musical direction of Victor Jacob.
