Campus Favart reaffirms a long-held belief of the institution: the stage is a living learning environment, and training lies at the very heart of the artistic project.
The Maîtrise Populaire
Every year, the Maîtrise Populaire welcomes 120 students aged between 8 and 25 to a programme of excellence open to all, with no entry requirements, where high standards, a supportive atmosphere and social diversity come together. In 2026–2027, the Maîtrise will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The Académie
Founded in 2023, the Opéra-Comique Academy is a programme for young artists : singers, conductors and vocal coaches, focused on the specific demands of opéra-comique, a genre characterised by the alternation of spoken and sung text. It offers its members the opportunity to perform at the Opéra-Comique and throughout France, whilst benefiting from high-level educational support and international partnerships.
An international reputation
In 2026, the Campus Favart is launching its first international exchange programme, in partnership with The Juilliard School and Villa Albertine. Singers from the Académie and Juilliard’s Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts will take part together in masterclasses, coaching sessions and concerts in Paris and New York.
