Partnership with the Teatro Municipal in Santiago de Chile

In April 2023, the Opéra national de Paris signed a partnership agreement with the Teatro Municipal de Santiago de Chile.

As the country's leading opera and choreography company, the Teatro has called on the Opéra's services in order to benefit from its expertise in teaching the French method of classical dance. Carmen Gloria Larenas, director of the Teatro Municipal, hopes this agreement will kick-start the ambitious overhaul of her dance school, which is set to become a benchmark for dance teaching in South America.

Scheduled to run for three years (2023-2025), this partnership has already enabled several hundred students to benefit from the Opera's expertise in classical dance.

Every year, the Opera sends dancers and teachers to Chile to train students and teachers in Santiago. Teachers from Santiago are welcomed back to the Opera's School of Dance for intensive training sessions.

"With this historic long-term agreement with the Opéra national de Paris, we are taking a step forward to improve the quality of dance training and promote the reputation of our talent, both as teachers and as performers. This project has been a long time in the making. The Teatro Municipal de Santiago is very proud to have been able to bring this project to fruition, and I sincerely hope that it will be a great opportunity for all artists and dance professionals on our continent.

Carmen Gloria Larenas, Director of the Teatro Municipal de Santiago

The partnership with Villa Hegra

Villa Hegra is a Franco-Saudi institution dedicated to arts and culture, born of a bilateral cooperation agreement. A prefiguration programme has been devised ahead of the official opening planned for 2026, including cultural workshops, concert cinemas, music and dance performances, conferences and artists' retreats.

As part of this programme, Villa Hegra invited the Opéra to the Maraya on 17 January 2024 for a concert featuring lyrical artists trained at the Académie de l'Opéra national de Paris and prima ballerina Alice Renavand. The concert was given in the presence of Ludovic Pouille, French Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and Jean-Yves Le Drian, President of AFALULA.

The concert was the first step in a long-term programme of support for the Villa Hegra Opera House, right up to its creation and beyond, in the development of its programming and the implementation of its artistic residencies, particularly in the following areas: operatic and choreographic performances, dance teaching, instrumental and vocal practice, choreographic creations, arts and crafts and artistic and cultural education.
