As 2025 comes to a close, we can’t help but think of one thing: the spectacular shows that await us in 2026. It's simple, we dream of music, of performers shining under the spotlight, breathtaking dancers, and orchestras that send shivers down our spines with every note played.
It seems that at La Seine Musicale, our biggest wishes are about to come true. There will be dance, musical comedies, concerts, and a touch of jazz too… The 2026 season promises to dazzle our eyes and ears. And for those still searching for Christmas gift ideas for your loved ones, why not slip a concert or show under the tree this year?
Shows that blend classical and contemporary worlds
New year, new resolutions, new...
Programming. It’s time to allow ourselves to see things in a very... very big way! On the side of live performances — especially dance — the tone is set: there will be grandeur and plenty of wonder. From January 7 to 11, 2026, Benjamin Millepied will make his grand return to La Seine Musicale with his reimagining of the classic The Nutcracker, featuring sets and costumes designed by Paul Cox. On stage, the 22 dancers will be accompanied by the orchestral works of Tchaikovsky, performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice..jpg)
