Were you eagerly waiting for the news? So were we! The Arènes Lyriques will officially be back this summer, from July 22 to August 15, to enchant our evenings with the rhythms of the greatest melodies from the lyrical repertoire. And for those new to this, here’s a little reminder: the Arènes Lyriques are classical music concerts — primarily, but not exclusively — played live, under the night sky, in the heart of the arenas of Montmartre — a place very rarely open to the public. We now know the program and the soloists for this 2026 edition, and we’ll explain everything to you!

Between Classical and Soul
This year, the concert will be titled E Fra le nubi d’oro « Amid the Clouds ». Among the highlight works that will be performed during these sixteen concert nights, you’ll find Danzón No. 2 by Arturo Márquez, Turandot, « Nessun Dorma » by Giacomo Puccini, La Wally, « Ebben? Ne andrò lontana » by Alfredo Catalani, and also My Baby Just Cares For Me by Nina Simone for a jazzy touch!
Eight Soloists and an Orchestra to Delight These Concert Nights
To perform these brilliant works, two groups of four soloists will take turns. The first, present from July 22 to August 1, will feature Clara Orif (soprano), Louise Bianco(soul voice), Jean-François Marras (tenor) and Kim Bernard on piano.

From August 5 to 15, we will be joined by Anara Khassenova (soprano), Laurine Moullet (soul voice), Jérémie Schütz (tenor), and Alexandre Lombard-Buffet (piano), sharing the stage together. They'll be accompanied by the orchestra of Les Arènes Lyriques, made up of fifteen musicians. The musical direction...the concert will be led by Angelina Zurzolo and Thomas Lefort, who are also the first and second violins. If you're ready to be swept away by the music and the poetry of these beautiful evenings, all you have to do is reserve your seats.
