The Academy of the Opéra-Comique

A major player in operatic creation, the Opéra-Comique has launched its new Académie in 2023. Aimed at new generations of performers, the Académie de l'Opéra-Comique is designed to promote the comic opera genre and its specific art of interpretation, as close as possible to the texts and the stage, among young talent.

As a centre of artistic excellence in French singing and the art of the spoken and sung word, it nurtures the artistic vitality of the Opéra-Comique's opera season by promoting the values of fairness, diversity and inclusion that the theatre stands for. The Académie also aims to develop new ways of looking at opera and to encourage the emergence of new artistic formats through creative residencies and the continuous presence of young artists throughout the opera season.

The Academie of the Opera-Comique

Key player in lyric creation for over three centuries, the Opéra-Comique is now opening the Académie.
