The 2025/2026 season
This season offers titles inspired by ancient myths, folk tales and romantic literature, continuing the ‘Goethe’ and ‘Lyric Tragedy’ cycles. Gluck, Donizetti, Offenbach, Massenet, Krása and our contemporary Matthias Pintscher demonstrate how opera, shaped by creators from diverse backgrounds, constitutes a vast territory of exchange at the heart of Europe, served by the visions of Lotte de Beer, Wajdi Mouawad, Muriel Mayette-Holtz, Pierre Dumoussaud, Raphaël Pichon, Speranza Scappucci...
Savour the voices of soloists accompanied on the piano in the Salle Favart with the recitals L'Amour du chant and the duos Stéphane Degout & Cédric Tiberghien, Cyrille Dubois & Tristan Raës, Stéphanie d'Oustrac & Pascal Jourdan, Julie Roset & Susan Manoff.
