The Opéra national de Paris has just announced that it is launching renovation work that will force it to close the Palais Garnier stage from mid-2027 to mid-2029 and then the Opéra Bastille stage from mid-2030 for at least two years.
According to the institution, from mid-2027 to mid-2029, « the Opéra Bastille’s programming will host an equal proportion of opera and ballet performances. Shows will also be programmed extra muros, in Paris, in partner venues, and more widely in France. These same principles will apply during the construction work at the Opéra Bastille.
