Martine à l’Opéra de Paris
In partnership with Paris Opera, Casterman is publishing a brand-new original adventure featuring one of the most beloved heroines in children’s literature, set behind the scenes of artistic creation.
This book invites young readers to explore the Palais Garnier, the Opéra Bastille, and the Paris Opera Ballet School.
From the Grand Staircase to the underground “lake”, via the Foyer de la Danse and the rehearsal studios, Martine takes children on a journey to uncover the secrets of the Paris Opera, its iconic spaces, and the many professions—often little known, yet essential—that keep this institution alive.
In this action-packed day, Martine offers young readers an immersive experience designed to spark their curiosity, share a passion for music and dance, and inspire a love for this unique world.
BUY DISCOVERAbout Martine
In 1954, the character of Martine was created, illustrated by Marcel Marlier from stories written by Gilbert Delahaye. Their close creative partnership lasted for more than forty years, until Gilbert Delahaye’s death in 1997. Together, they produced a timeless body of work that introduced generations of young girls to the joy of reading.
Marcel Marlier, with story contributions from his son Jean-Louis Marlier, continued the series until 2010, creating a body of work unmatched in the history of children’s literature.
Since 2021, Rosalind Elland-Goldsmith has been the author of the new Martine books.
