Enter the heart of the creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsal and dress rehearsal. The dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the first performance.

SOIRÉE EXCEPTIONNELLLE EN L'HONNEUR DE CLAUDE BESSY

Grande figure de la danse dans le monde entier, la danseuse Étoile Claude Bessy a été directrice de l’École de Danse de l’Opéra national de Paris de 1973 à 2004. Au cours de ces années, elle a renouvelé en profondeur l’enseignement, créé les Démonstrations, inauguré les spectacles annuels au Palais Garnier aussi bien que les représentations en tournée. À l’occasion de ses 90 ans, les élèves de l’École lui consacrent une soirée exceptionnelle.
