Highlights: Dance shows at Philharmonie de Paris

Usually devoted to classical music, the Philharmonie de Paris also serves as a remarkable space for dance, hosting four powerful performances where the body becomes a vehicle for music, history, and poetry.

 

On Saturday, 13 September 2025 at 8:00 p.m., Istanbul: From Byzantine Chant to the Mevlevi Tradition offers a spiritual immersion between Christian East and Sufism. Byzantine liturgical voices meet the whirling trance of the dervish Muslim monks in a sacred dialogue between two age-old traditions.

On Saturday, 1 November at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, 2 November 2025 at 4:00 p.m., Carmen, reimagined by Israel Galván, overturns the codes of flamenco opera. With conductor Zahia Ziouani, the Finnish shouting choir Mieskuoro Huutajat, and María Marín’s Andalusian guitar, this Carmen is visceral, feminine, fragmented – danced as much as it is sung.

On Saturday, 6 June 2026 at 8:00 p.m., Concerto danzante celebrates the power of movement set to live symphonic music. The artists – soon to be revealed – will explore the dynamic between body and orchestra in a perpetually inventive musical ballet.

Finally, on Wednesday, 17 June 2026 at 8:00 p.m., the stage ignites with 20 HWiM Candekeybus, a tribute to twenty creations by Wim Vandekeybus. Alongside composers Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch, this all-encompassing work blends extreme dance, physical theatre, visuals, and live music with the raw energy characteristic of Ultima Vez.

 

At the Philharmonie de Paris, dance does not merely accompany music: it rethinks it, disrupts it, offering new, vibrant interpretations.

Philharmonie de Paris

 

If Paris were to be defined in terms of monuments, we would include the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Pyramid, the Opéra Garnier, and the Opéra Bastille to name a few.. But from this list the Philharmonie de Paris is surely missing! This impressive monument, inaugurated on January 15th, 2015, is dedicated to symphonic music, chamber music, jazz and world music. Composed of over 340,000 aluminum shiny plates, its impressive facade of the Philharmonie de Paris has become a famous landmark of north-eastern Paris.

 

All types of music can be found at the Philharmonie de Paris. This venue hosts orchestras such as the Orchestre de Paris, Les Arts Florissants, the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France and welcomes major international orchestras, conductors, and musicians who make their difficult scores look easy as they perform them for 2,400 astonished spectators. The acoustic excellence of the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, entrusted to New Zealand’s Sir Harold Marshall and Japan’s Yasuhisa Toyota, creates particularly favorable conditions for listening to pianissimo, pizzicato, or even delicate harp chords.

 

The soft colors of the blond wood featured in the hall paired with the balconies, which seem to loom weightless, create a real sense of intimacy, especially since the distance between the conductor and the closest listener is a mere 32 meters! A hall that holds a sense of esteemed intimacy despite its size, and with an international and varied programme... You must experience it for yourself first-hand!
