This week we are going to live a curious journey with you Philippe Garcia; A journey that takes us through the streets of the inner city of the Popes. Today : the Grand Avignon Opera renovated from basement to ceiling!

An almost new opera, redesigned and modified in the basement and backstage, but the same, completely refreshed on the auditorium side, with new, much more comfortable seats. Before discovering the room and what is going on there at the moment, meet outside, on the steps of the Opéra du Grand Avignon with Sylvie Roger the head of external relations, alongside great statuesque men including Molière,

There, we were in the henhouse with the benches redone with 17 meters lower, on the stage, Helene Carpentier who interprets the Micaela in this production dedicated to young people; She has just received the grand prize of the Avignon Opera young hopefuls competition awarded by Raymond Duffaut. Hélène Carpentier, 22-year-old soprano, a “millennial” future of the great tradition of eternal opera!

Sylvie Rogier created “Noon at the Opera” which, in the new Salle des Préludes, under the stage of the Opéra du Grand Avignon, receives 80 people free of charge for mini concerts, without registration! Friday January 21, 2022 at 12:30 p.m., “Happy flutes” with transverse flutes, baroque key flute and piano. First come, first installed!
