We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the beginning of La Calisto, and present your voucher at the front desk. Théâtre de l'Archevêché’s English-speaking staff members will guide you to your seats.
We recommend that you check the dates, times and venues shown on the tickets. Performances start at the time indicated. Once the theatre doors have closed, you will not be guaranteed entry to the auditorium. In order not to disturb the smooth running of the performance, latecomers may only be accommodated during an intermission, when it takes place, without any guarantee of the seating shown on the tickets. Some seats do not guarantee the visibility of surtitles or offer reduced visibility.

The opera La Calisto at Théâtre de l'Archevêché lasts approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes, with intermission.

For both! The Théâtre de l'Archevêché has been welcoming audiences from all over the world for many years. The opera, La Calisto, is sung in its original Italian version. Surtitles are provided in both French and English so that international audiences can appreciate this opera in open sky.

At Théâtre de l’Archevêché, there are a maximum of four categories available, each of which provides a comfortable view of the surtitles. The surtitles are projected above and on the sides of the stage.
*Surtitles (also called supertitles) are the theatre equivalent of subtitles. That’s because in French “sur” means “above”.

When purchasing tickets for La Calisto, choose your preferred category and you will be allocated the best available seats in that category!
Please note that tickets of the same category that are booked during the same purchase session, in the same booking order on our website are always assigned side by side. To be sure of this, make sure all of your tickets are in the same category and are included in your shopping cart at the time of purchase.
If there are no available adjacent seating arrangements, our customer service team will contact you before the booking is confirmed.

There is no specific dress code at Théâtre de l'Archevêché, but proper attire is appreciated.

For performances, since 2008 Théâtre de l’Archevêché has only cancelled one and delayed another by a few minutes. Therefore, this is a very rare occasion. To help continue this to be a rare occasion, the Théâtre de l’Archevêché has a dedicated contact at Météo-France that helps in decision-making if ever there is a possibility of weather interruption. If the rain starts during the performance, Theatre in Paris will refund your tickets unless more than half of the performance has been played.

In case of cancellation of a performance, reimbursement will be made only upon request with presentation of the ticket(s). All requests must be sent no later than 30 days after the end of the Festival. After this date, no refund will be made. No additional expenses (transportation, parking, hotels...) will be reimbursed or compensated.

Yes, it’s completely normal! Your order will first be created as a pre-booking so that the Théâtre de l'Archevêché can assign your seat. You may see a pre-payment on your card, but rest assured that we will not charge your card until your reservation has been validated by the Théâtre de l'Archevêché. Once the reservation is confirmed, you will receive your ticket by email.
Due to the large number of requests that the Theâtre de l'Archevêché has to manage, this process usually takes two business days, but can take up to six days maximum. After six days if your order has not been validated, it will be cancelled, the pre-charge will disappear, and you will not be charged.
