The Ritz never ceases to surprise us and to offer events that live up to its prestige. Roaring Twenties parties, concerts… The prestigious hotel on Place Vendôme knows how to celebrate, no matter the season. From June 13th to 15th, 2026, it will host the first edition of Starry Nights, an artistic festival with a program as eclectic as it is poetic. Let us explain.

An exceptional setting for this first edition
Three evenings means three different programs, all led by the musical direction of Aymeric Gracia. Featuring dance, opera, and orchestral music, this festival, envisioned by artistic director Frédéric Fontan, will take place outdoors in the Grand Jardin du Ritz. It’s a unique venue lined with linden trees, perfect for hosting an unprecedented event.

The entire classic repertoire brought to light
On Saturday, June 13, we will celebrate the Diamond Night. We're going to honor the elegance of Place Vendôme and the prestige of its High Jewelry houses. Mendelssohn, Gounod, and Offenbach will take the spotlight, brought to life by the voices of Axelle Saint-Cirel — the mezzo-soprano who sang La Marseillaise at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics — alongside Claire de Monteil and the star Roxane Stojanov, who will perform for the very first time a solo created especially for her based on a work by Chopin.

The next day, Sunday, June 14, romantics will take center stage. La Bohème, La Traviata, Romeo and Juliet… Tamara Bounazou and Quentin Desgeorges will perform these wonderful melodies alongside dancers Maia Makhateli, Andrea Sarri, and Michaël Lafon.
Finally, on Monday, June 15, the festivities will close with the Moonlit Night. The tenor Bruno de Sá will deliver a brilliant interpretation of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals. The Stars of the Paris Opera Ballet, Alice Renavand and Mathieu Ganio, along with Agnès Letestu, will present performances that are as spectacular as they are memorable. This is an event you definitely don't want to miss!
