Tous à l'Opéra !

For the very first time, the Fondation Les Arts Florissants - William Christie in Thiré (Vendée, Pays de la Loire) is taking part in the national event “Tous à l'Opéra” (Everyone to the Opera)! 

Since 1979, the musical ensemble Les Arts Florissants has established itself as a leading performer of Baroque opera, creating legendary productions — such as Lully's Atys, Mondonville's Titon et l'Aurore, and Charpentier's Médée — on the world's greatest stages: the Opéra-Comique, the Opéra national de Paris, La Scala in Milan, the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, the Brooklyn Academy of Music... and many more. 

Come and discover this amazing world during an exceptional weekend in Thiré!
