The International Council brings together patrons from around the world in support of the artistic, cultural, and international vision of the Paris Opera. By uniting committed supporters from every continent, it seeks to strengthen the institution's global reach and influence.

This initiative is designed for supporters who wish to engage closely with the opera and ballet programming while serving as ambassadors for its international initiatives, particularly the international tours of its artistic companies.

For this inaugural season, internationally acclaimed American soprano Renée Fleming serves as founding Ambassador of the International Council.
