Description
For 51 years, the Festival des Nuits du Château de la Moutte has been an invitation to poetry and romance.
In the courtyard of the château, in the palm grove or on the Canebiers beach, under the moonlight and starry skies, classical, baroque and world music concerts enchant the evenings in the tropics.
In the enchanting setting of Émile Ollivier's château - politician, academician, Wagner's brother-in-law and Liszt's son-in-law - music dialogues with nature, the sea and the stars. As night falls, concerts take place in the château's courtyard, with its remarkable acoustics, in the palm grove or on the legendary Canebiers beach.
Whether classical, baroque, jazz or world music, each edition is a showcase for artistic excellence and discovery.
From Gautier Capuçon to Pretty Yende, from Yuja Wang to Guillaume Gallienne, the greatest artists share the stage with emerging talents. The festival also offers a program for families, with a musical show and workshops for children.
Supported by the City of Saint-Tropez and the Conservatoire du Littoral - to whom the estate was bequeathed in 2000 - the festival strives to transmit a demanding musical tradition, while preserving the fragile beauty of the site. The intimacy of the site, the proximity to the artists and the magic of the Tropezian nights offer a suspended moment, out of time, which attracts a loyal and amazed audience every summer.
