The opera, ballet and concert season of the Opéra national de Paris takes place in two main venues : The Palais Garnier which you can find the season below and the Opera Bastille.

This 2022-2023 season marks the real debut of Alexander Neef, director of the great institution, and Gustavo Dudamel, the music director who is already admired by all.

It is now traditional for the Palais Garnier to host dance performances and also some opera productions. The mythical hall is of course open to visitors, but nothing can replace the experience of a live performance.

One of the most anticipated shows of the 2022-2023 season has lived up to its promise. The new production of Mozart's masterpiece Le nozze di Figaro directed by Netia Jones subtly plays with the codes of opera. Conductor Louis Langrée, a great Mozart specialist, is joined by a fine cast with Miah Persson, Gerald Finley, Luca Pisaroni and the expected return of the new rising star of sopranos Jeanine De Bique who will sing a very pretty Susanna.

Another revival has a very fine cast. In the role of Rossini's La Cenerentola, the many fans of the French mezzo Gaëlle Arquez are already looking forward to seeing this voice again in Guillaume Gallienne's staging, which was his opera debut. Tickets should be reserved for a production announced as the highlight of the 2022-2023 season.

Britten's Peter Grimes was acclaimed in Madrid where the work of brilliant director Deborah Warner has already met with public and critical success. Conducted by the talented Joana Mallwitz, the cast includes Allan Clayton, Maria Bengtsson and Simon Keenlyside, who returns to the Opéra national de Paris.

At the head of The English Concert, Harry Bicket conducts a new production of Handel's brilliant Ariodante in a staging by Robert Carsen that has not been seen at the Paris Opéra for far too long!

On the ballet side, it's a real feast with a festival of repertoire. The masterpiece of the white ballet, Swan Lake by Rudolf Nureyev or the emblematic Bolero by Maurice Béjart and Signes by Carolyn Carlson and Olivier Debré are rather at the Opéra Bastille but the Palais Garnier is programming great masterpieces of classical dance.

Alongside Kenneth MacMillan's L'Histoire de Manon, the English choreographer's other great title enters the repertoire of the Paris Opera Ballet. Mayerling will be performed for the first time under the Chagall ceiling.

Other performance that sell out quickly are the season's Gala with the Ballet as well as the Demonstrations and the Dance School's performance.

Other great names are on the season, such as the unmissable George Balanchine and Pina Bausch. With Kontakthof, the Paris Opera Ballet pays tribute to the great lady of German choreography.

The rich 2022-2023 season also offers evenings where the new generation rubs shoulders with more established choreographers. This will be the case with creations by Alan Lucien Øyen and Smith Bobbi Jene, the arrival of the guest company Peeping Tom and the return of a contemporary dance great. Wayne McGregor's The Dante Project, a ballet that will be directed from the pit by Gustavo Dudamel in alternation with Thomas Adès, is a highlight of the season. Also worth mentioning are the chamber music concerts offered by members of the Paris Opera Orchestra, which are always a great success.
