The Academie of the Opera-Comique

A major player in operatic creation, the Opéra-Comique has launched its new Académie in 2023. Aimed at new generations of performers, the Académie de l'Opéra-Comique is designed to promote the comic opera genre and its specific art of interpretation, as close as possible to the texts and the stage, among young talent.

As a centre of artistic excellence in French singing and the art of the spoken and sung word, it nurtures the artistic vitality of the Opéra-Comique's opera season by promoting the values of fairness, diversity and inclusion that the theatre stands for. The Académie also aims to develop new ways of looking at opera and to encourage the emergence of new artistic formats through creative residencies and the continuous presence of young artists throughout the opera season.

For almost 10 months on end, they benefit from the availability of rehearsal spaces and individual work studios; training sessions with artists and professionals in the performing arts; and creative spaces with the opportunity to perform in opera productions or small-scale forms (concerts, recitals, etc.).

This season, the Académie welcomes:

• 1 conductor ;
• 5 opera artists ;
• 2 pianists and vocal coaches.

Management team:

• Marion Nimaga-Brouwet, Director of Campus Favart
• Cécile Ducournau, Deputy Director of Campus Favart
• Julie Jozwiak, Production Manager
• Élie Savoye, Académie Stage Manager
