Discover the backstage of the Dijon opera

This Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the Dijon Opera opens the backstage of the auditorium for a day dedicated to artistic encounters. The teams invite you to discover the anecdotes of this majestic building, to meet the Éphémère children’s choir, to access a rehearsal of the new production of the Dijon Opera, but also to let your imagination speak through artistic workshops . In this year of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the event emphasizes an essential value that opera houses share with the Olympics: that of “team spirit”. Each event at an opera house (concert, lyrical or choreographic show, workshops, etc.) is the result of collective work serving all audiences, mobilizing a very wide range of professions and skills. Anxious to present work of excellence, all of these activities contribute to the creation of a unique moment brought about by the magic of the show. Let yourself be carried away by the life of an arts and entertainment house.
