Concert Inaugural Gustavo Dudamel

Concert Inaugural conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, the new musical director of Opera de Paris, September 22, 2021.

This inaugural concert features an anthology of opera excerpts, inviting us to rediscover great arias, duets, ensembles, and musical interludes from a rich and eclectic repertoire in a truly exceptional performance. From Georges Bizet’s Carmen to John Adams’ Doctor Atomic, from Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin to Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar, from Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier to Giuseppe Verdi’s Falstaff, from Manuel De Falla’s La Vida breve to Benjamin Britten’s Peter Grimes, Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Orchestra, Chorus, Academy’s artists and guest performers. A true musical celebration for the first edition of this exceptional concert.

The concert will be broadcasted online the next 3 months on L'Opéra chez soi and medici.tv for free.
