Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon live in Lyon

Experience Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon live on September 18th

Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon is recognized for its versatility, performing a broad repertoire encompassing Baroque through contemporary works, with a particular strength in operatic and ballet scores – reflecting its institutional role supporting productions at the Opéra National de Lyon. The orchestra frequently undertakes projects beyond the opera house, including symphonic concerts and collaborations with diverse artists.

Salle Molière, located within the Hôtel de Ville of Lyon, is a historic concert hall renowned for its intimate setting and excellent acoustics. Originally constructed in the 19th century as part of renovations to the city hall following a fire, it was designed to host cultural events and quickly became a favored venue for chamber music and recitals. The hall’s architecture features ornate detailing typical of the period and maintains a relatively small capacity—approximately 300 seats—contributing to its uniquely close audience experience. It has undergone several restorations over the years to preserve its original character while updating technical capabilities.

On September 18, 2026, Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon will perform at Salle Molière. Specific program details are currently unavailable.
