Overview

Where does the worldwide popularity of the masterpiece La Traviata come from? From this poignant story of an unseemly love with its incredibly forceful scenes, the complex yet sublime vocal part of the title role, the arias everyone hums or simply the genius of its composer? A little of all of this at the same time ... A true romantic drama that strikes the audience in the heart, La Traviata is today one of the most performed opera in the world.

Adolphe Thiers' home opens its doors to 30 guests for a unique experience in France, celebrating the tradition of 19th-century art salons

As if you were the guests of the master of the house holding a lounge, let yourself be guided through the mansion, then be swept away by the power of the opera.  You are dazzled by the artists a few meters from your eyes who, erasing the distances, make you experience the opera "from the inside".

Enter the secret of the historian collector's cabinet, admire the treasures of the Thiers library and the collection of works of art during a private visit.

Enjoy the privilege of a completely confidential reception. The art and history of this heritage become the immersive setting of the opera.

Discover an adaptation of Verdi's La Traviata centered on the three main roles accompanied by a piano, a violin, and a cello.

So,  opera libretto in hand, follow Violetta from one salon to another and share a glass of champagne with her in a reduced committee, from her social reception at her country house, until her tragic end.

Extend this precious moment by meeting the artists in the softness of the garden or in a lounge for an informal exchange around a cocktail.

Opera a Palazzo initiates the French version of Musica a Palazzo, creator of immersive operas for more than ten years in Venice, whose founders have transmitted to the artistic team the soul of this unique experience. This 1.5-hour version won The Argus Angel Award.

The costumes come from the famous Atelier Nicolao, a Venetian artisan company which, since 1980, has created historical costumes and dresses for important film productions but also operas like the Lyric Opera in Chicago, the New National Theater in Tokyo, the Teatro La Fenice in Venice.

The cast features remarkable artists performing in major lyrical productions.

Whether you are a music lover or a fan of new experiences, you will be enthusiastic about Opera a Palazzo.
