January
for
solidarity

In January 2025, the Opéra national de Lorraine is implementing a solidarity-based artistic programme aimed at all those who, because of their life situation, find themselves in a fragile position. As part of its Citizen Project, the Opéra organises numerous solidarity events throughout the year with local players in the fields of health and social work. Solidarity Month highlights some of the partnerships and audiences dear to the Opera.

Musical encounter with Ensemble Cappella Mediterranea - Thursday 9 January - 2.30pm - at the Opéra

Ensemble Cappella Mediterranea
Musical direction Leonardo García-Alarcón

To launch its Solidarity Month, the Opéra wanted to give access to Baroque treasures to spectators with reduced mobility. This audience showed up for the show Où allez-vous comme ça ? in 2024. It was then obvious to think of him for this musical encounter directed by Leonardo García-Alarcón, a well-known figure to audiences in Nancy, having directed a number of outstanding shows and concerts in recent years - including Rossi's Le Palais enchanté, Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, and the forthcoming Amour à mort from 10 to 12 January 2025.

Spectators and artists will be together on the stage of the Opéra to share what promises to be a warm moment of music.

Performances reserved for members of associations and partners working for the accessibility and inclusion of people with reduced mobility, and for spectators with reduced mobility and accompanying adults.
