our selection for Thursday December 26

The day after Christmas, it's a party on all levels: fabulous circus performers, an enchanting Disney and Offenbach celebrated as it should be.

It’s magical: “43rd Circus Festival of Tomorrow”

Every year we wait for it as a precious gift. Here is the return of the Circus Festival of Tomorrow and its artists who are already creating wonders today. And for 2024, we promise you an excellent vintage edition!

It’s Magic (2): “Encanto, the fantastic Madrigal family”

If you liked Coco, you will love Encanto, the fantastic Madrigal family and the story of Mirabel, a young Colombian teenager without powers in an exceptional family. The singing performances, by virtuoso composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, are dazzling!

It’s Offenbach: “Celebration day at Offenbach”

Soprano Patricia Petibon and tenor Cyrille Dubois put all their cheerfulness and desire at the service of Jacques Offenbach, a composer who is both joker and light-hearted, but also full of nostalgia. A tasty medley concert at the Radio France auditorium!

BONUS

Brilliant: “The Innocent”
