Co-produced by Blacklight, the Opéra national de Paris, and VIVE Arts, this technological gem invites you to dive in, headset on, into the heart of this Parisian architectural masterpiece. It’s a way to (re)discover the opera like you’ve never seen… or heard before.
A Visit Like No Other
Welcome to a journey out of time. Forget the classic tours: here, it’s Céleste, a young singer with an enigmatic charm, who takes you on a sensory odyssey through the backstage, the gilded salons, and the hidden corners of the Palais Garnier. All in ultra immersive virtual reality, where the decor surrounds you and the music transports you.

The experience lasts a delightful 25 minutes flat and offers you a charming panorama of the lyrical repertoire. You’ll be swept away by the sublime "Chant à la lune" from Rusalka, performed by Renée Fleming, you’ll vibrate with the powerful "Vissi d’Arte" from Tosca as sung by Martina Serafin, and you’ll succumb to the irresistible "Habanera" from Carmen sung by Elina Garanca. Magical, right?
Step into the decor, at the heart of the action
The Magic Opera truly lives up to its name. Here, opera is not just watched and listened to; it’s experienced. You don’t sit back in a chair: you move forward, turn your head, and perk up your ears. Each piece you encounter becomes a living picture, with every aria sending shivers down your spine.
This immersive journey celebrates opera as a truly vibrant and accessible art form. A must-see this spring and summer at the Palais Garnier, whether you're a seasoned music lover or just a curious soul on the lookout for new experiences!
