Philippe Jaroussky live in Paris

Experience Philippe Jaroussky live on November 8th

Philippe Jaroussky will perform at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on November 8, 2026. Jaroussky is internationally recognized as a countertenor, specializing in Baroque and Classical repertoire. His vocal style is characterized by agility, purity of tone, and expressive ornamentation, frequently interpreting works originally written for castrati. He often collaborates with period instrument ensembles, prioritizing historically informed performance practice. While he performs a broad range of pieces, his discography prominently features composers like Handel, Vivaldi, and Porpora.

The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées holds a significant place in Parisian cultural history. Opened in 1913, it was conceived as a venue dedicated to modern art forms – music, dance and theatre – offering an alternative to the more traditional Opéra Garnier and Opéra Comique. Its architecture, designed by Roger Séjourné with contributions from artists like Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard, reflects Art Deco influences. The theatre quickly became associated with groundbreaking performances; notably, Igor Stravinsky’s *The Rite of Spring* premiered there amidst famously disruptive audience reaction.
