Théâtre des Champs-Elysées
Laurent Pelly’s production of Rossini’s joyful opera The Barber of Seville is performed by a young and truly promising young cast.
Jérémie Rhorer’s musical interpretation and Olivier Py’s pared-down, ascetic directing, acclaimed at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées when it was new produced in 2013, make of this work a profound reflection on death, fear, and the will to live. ‘We do not die each for ourselves, but one for the other, or even one in place of the other, who knows ?’
Based upon the Greek myth of Orpheus who travels to the underworld to save his wife, Orfeo ed Euridice showcases the universal themes of love and death, which need no further pageantry.
Robert Carsen production emphasizes the drama between the characters and the performances of Philippe Jaroussky as Orfeo Patricia Petibon as Euridice so that the alchemy between singers and the audience could exist.

Hommage à Maria Callas
Tuesday, 12 September 2017
20:00
Théâtre des Champs-Elysées
A tribute to Maria CallasOn May 2nd 1965, at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Maria Callas, accompanied by the Orchestra of the ORTF and Georges Prêtre, borders on the sublime. And her last public performance was on November 11, 1975 still in Paris.
The Diva always put as much passion into her life as into her art.
As a tribute to the “voice of the last century”, Roberto Abbado is directing Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor with the great Jessica Pratt.
Ermonela Jaho, one of the great verismo interpreters, brings uncompromising veracity to the title role, and the combination of vulnerability and torrential emotion just tears you in two.
Verdi carries a lively, first-class tune, the music flows into the ear and one easily catches oneself humming one aria or another on leaving the show.
Don’t miss it !
At Christmas, the timeless cycle of the seasons and the rituals of belief swing into alignment. As a church musician, Johann Sebastian Bach saw himself merely as a craftsman serving God. But when the six cantatas he wrote for the Christmas season are combined into this monumental Christmas Oratorio, the result is something so joyous, so strong and so richly inspired that conventional belief becomes unnecessary.
Messe Solennelle
Tuesday, 16 January 2018
20:00
Théâtre des Champs-Elysées
Beethoven’s oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives about Jesus final night in the Garden of Gethsemane describing his anguish and prayers and Berlioz Solemn Mass will be performed by Vannina Santoni, Daniel Behle and Jean-Sébastien Bou.
Haydn's greatest achievement in The Creation is to have produced a musical world that equals rather than diminishes its exalted subject, a musical creation that can embrace at once the mysterious voice of the divine, domestic human intimacy, and even the humble world of the smallest living creature.
The Hungarian Miskolc Orchestra, soloists and the Cantemus Choir will perform this astonishingly powerful piece, full of fervor and passion
Bach's masterpiece is virtually the last in a very long list of Passions to do the history of music proud. Barring a few rare exceptions, those that followed were not Passions in the liturgical sense that Bach intended, and paved the way for the oratorio form.
With its arias and duets all deeply moving performed by two great artists, Julia Lezhneva and Franco Fagioli, this work is one of the purest Italian cantata style.
The incredibly modern thing about this work is also a certain idea of destiny: not the destiny that drives people on to glorious feats of arms, but the destiny that strikes people down and that the composer conveys by the eloquent silences that stud the work. But language is not the only factor in this exceptional work. The orchestra is marvelous, not only when it dazzles but also when it unobtrusively accompanies, underscores and supports the text. All in all, the work offers a dismal view of humanity, utterly devoid of hope or mercy.
Sabine Devieilhe and Guillaume Andrieux will serve this poetic drama with deep emotion of lovers' innocence.
French Opera / Subtitled in French
Its rich choral range and the beauty of the airs composed for the soloists make it one of the masterpieces of the classical repertoire.
Masaaki Suzuki, conductor of the Bach Collegium Japan, will perform this Mass with four exceptional soloists
Mass in C minor k 427. Sung in Latin, subtitled in French. First part Haydn’s Symphony 48
French Opera / Subtitled in French

Striking melodies, vigorous rhythms, great depth of feeling, and hints of Czech folk music are the Dvořák trademarks present in his large-scaled quintet.
