Seize performances will be offered this summer, outdoors, to the Parisian public. This year's lineup includes pieces like "Oh!

Violists Thomas Lefort and Da-Min Kim will perform the "Violin Concerto in D minor: 2. Andante".e Mendelssohn as well as an arrangement of "When I am Laid in Earth" by Purcell.

Les Arènes Lyriques for the kids
The little ones won’t be left out since concerts tailored for young audiences, especially for children who aren't going on vacation, will be offered from July 25th to August 15th.
Four afternoons will be specially reserved for them to introduce them to classical music and offer a moment of escape. In this youth segment, we will have the show The King Who Didn't Like Music, a participatory workshop where children create their own musical tale, and a vocal demonstration where they can try a collective vocal warm-up alongside the lyrical singers from the arena, who will also perform excerpts from great classical pieces. Ticket sales are already open, so don't hesitate to reserve your seats!Voir cette publication sur Instagram
