Presentation

Inaugurated in 1770 on the occasion of the wedding of the future Louis XVI to the young Marie-Antoinette, the Royal Opera quickly became one of the most beautiful rooms in Europe.

The baroque era was the quintessential age of total art, with performances playing a major role: dance, music, theatre, costumes and sets, all mixed together in the most dazzling of harmonies. Despite this enthusiasm for performance arts, the Court did not have a theatre in the château until the end of the reign of Louis XV: it was he who built and decorated the magnificent Royal Opera, designed to be a room of transformations, intended for use both for the Court's performances and its balls.

Reopened since 2009, the Royal Opera offers a rich program each season with over a hundred performances, including staged operas, concert-version operas, recitals, theater, and ballets. Renowned international conductors and performers take turns gracing its stage, with a particular focus on the European baroque repertoire.
The musical season restores to this prestigious venue the role for which it was built: a place of vibrant theatrical and musical life.
