Great classics to (re)discover
The season will be filled with exceptional events. Among the must-sees, we have Don Giovanni by Mozart, with a new production directed by Agnès Jaoui, which will be performed from October 2 to 11. November will shine with Le Villi, Puccini's first opera, set to captivate audiences from November 15 to 19. Plus, Puccini will keep our hearts racing as his melodies merge with Henri Murger's work on December 4 and 5 with La Vie de bohème.
The year 2027 will kick off with the tunes of Offenbach, as his operetta La Périchole will be in the spotlight from December 27 to January 5. A successful season is one where Verdi is on the program: get ready for Don Carlo from February 27 to March 7. And in spring? Maybe a bit of Gounod… Mireille will take the stage from April 22 to May 2 before Puccini makes a grand return at the end of the season, with Turandot, from June 1 to 6.
A programming accessible to all
If there's one thing that the Opéra de Marseille cares about, it's ensuring accessibility and spreading culture and live performances!nt for the greatest number. Ticket prices range from 8 € to 80 € depending on the performances, making it possible for audiences to enjoy a cultural escape. For young people under 28 years old, operas, concerts, and operettas are just 10 €.
Some shows have particularly attractive prices: this is the case for many performances at the Théâtre de l'Odéon, like the symphonic concert by the Marseille Philharmonic Orchestra, scheduled for October 29, where tickets are only 15 € for everyone. Sounds tempting, right? Well, know that you can already book your tickets for the 2026/2027 season — and a little tip: don’t wait too long, first come, first served!
