The Paris Opera, also known as L'Opéra de Paris, is an iconic theater renowned for its opera and ballet performances. As the Paris National Opera (Opéra national de Paris), it stands as a cornerstone of global musical and theatrical art.
The Paris Opera Ballet, one of the world's oldest and most esteemed ballet companies, traces its origins back to 1669 when Jean-Baptiste Lully founded the Royal Academic Ballet. Over centuries, it has evolved into a symbol of grace, refinement, and artistic brilliance. Legendary ballerinas like Carlotta Grisi, Marie Taglioni, Anna Pavlova, and Marguerite Fontaine have graced its stage, leaving an indelible mark on the ballet world.
The company's repertoire spans both classical and contemporary works, embracing innovation while honoring tradition. Today, the Paris Opera Ballet performs in two venues: the Paris Opera and the Bastille Opera, offering audiences a diverse array of high-quality productions that transcend traditional genres and styles.
