History and Fun Facts about Amphithéâtre O. Messiaen at Opéra Bastille
Located within the Opéra Bastille in Paris, the Olivier Messiaen Amphitheatre is a versatile venue inaugurated in 1990. Intimate in size (around 500 seats), it contrasts with the main auditorium and hosts chamber music concerts, recitals, lectures, and more experimental performances. Its acoustic and stage design were conceived to create optimal proximity between artists and audience.
The space pays tribute to Olivier Messiaen, a major twentieth-century composer and influential teacher. The Amphitheatre therefore plays an essential role in the educational and cultural programming of the Paris National Opera, notably through activities aimed at young artists from the lyrical world. Discreet yet dynamic, this venue contributes fully to the artistic vitality of the Opéra Bastille, offering innovative forms and more accessible formats.
