Une journée à l'opéra

"A Day at the Opera" is an original, bold, and unifying work that breathes new life into the Opera and invites the general public to come through its doors.

The Nice Côte d'Azur Opera, chosen for its exceptional setting, both steeped in history and conducive to innovation, will host "A Day at the Opera" this summer, revealing its full emotional and sensory potential.

A 45-MINUTE DREAMLIKE JOURNEY

A multidisciplinary artist, Etienne Guiol was part of the artistic team for the ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. He is notably responsible for the large-scale fresco of Olympic sports projected onto the Pont d'Austerlitz and the immersive video presented at the opening of the Paralympic Games. He is also the creator of the sculptures of the eight famous women emerging from the water.

Combining video projection and music, the immersive performance "A Day at the Opera" takes the spectator on a 45-minute dreamlike journey. Immersed in the majestic setting of the Opéra Nice Côte d'Azur and the fantastical world of operatic creation, they experience a vibrant and powerful experience that will leave a lasting impression...

DIALOGUE BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY AND EMOTION

In this subtle dialogue between tradition and modernity, technology and emotion, Etienne Guiol presents a new vision of the Opera, that of a more accessible, freer place, where one no longer comes to whisper but to feel and live!

A unique experience that reveals one of the jewels of French heritage in a new light and invites young and old, art lovers and novices alike, to be amazed by the Opera.

Etienne Guiol's work opens the 2025-26 season of the Opéra Nice Côte d'Azur. Entitled “Libre d’esprits” and led by its General Director, Bertrand Rossi, it embodies the vision of an opera open to all and full of surprises.
