Admiring a show at the Opéra de Paris is one of those cultural activities that should definitely be on your bucket list. But, let's be honest, ticket prices can hold back a lot of students who are carefully managing their budgets. Thankfully, there are a few tips to enjoy the greatest operas in the capital without breaking the bank: while the event Tous à l’Opéra opens its stunning buildings to the public for a weekend, the cultural institution has also renewed its operation allowing everyone to attend the rehearsals of shows for the 2024-2025 season.

Intimate and Demanding Sessions
Hearing the crowd, then the silence, holding your breath in the face of tension, following every movement: it’s quite difficult to recreate the feelings unique to each performance launch. But don’t worry: while the magic unfolds differently during rehearsals, there’s still a sprinkle of enchantment in the air.
In a setting that’s equally professional and surely more intimate, these open classes, held in the studios of the Palais Garnier and the Opéra Bastille, give you the chance to discover demanding work sessions where the dancers prepare meticulously for their roles. The experience also ensures you’ll witness privileged exchanges with the rehearsal...editors, ballet masters, and choreographers who came to assist them.
