Every summer, Opéra en plein air, or Open Air Opera, offers everyone the chance to relax and enjoy live opera outdoors. A well-known director puts on a great opera from the classical repertoire. This is then performed in open air settings, at prestigious sites such as the Hôtel National des Invalides in the centre of Paris.

After Mozart’s Don Giovanni, The MagicFlute, Verdi’s Aïda, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, Verdi’s La Traviata the festival has chosen La Bohème by Giacomo Puccino for 2016.

From 6 September to 10 September 2016.
