The Paris Opera Academy

Sharing, education, and creation are the three main aspects of the Paris Opera Academy's mission. With Vocational Training at one end of its spectrum and Artistic Education at the other one, the Academy strives to support young artists in learning their trades and allows students from kindergarten to university to actively discover the world of opera and ballet.

Directors and choreographers from very different backgrounds are invited to offer a new interpretation of pieces from the repertoire, both for artists in residence and for students, as part of their artistic and cultural education journey.

With its programming for young audiences, each season the Academy opens its doors to nearly 20,000 spectators of all ages. With guidance for teachers and personnel from the Opera, young audiences are introduced to the art of opera and ballet.

Diverse educational programs offered by the Academy are grouped around three areas of discovery: professions are explored through meetings with artists and professionals from the Opera, pieces from the repertoire are introduced through access to performances, rehearsals or recordings, and venues are presented as part of visits to theaters and behind-the-scenes experiences.
