Highlights: Opera de Paris Orchestra Symphonic Concerts Series

The Paris National Opera is presenting two exceptional “off-site” concerts in 2026, bringing together its orchestra’s musicians to perform major works from the classical and Romantic repertoire. Come and discover them at the prestigious Philharmonie de Paris.

On Monday, March 16th 2026, under the baton of conductor Marek Janowski, the evening will open with Mozart’s radiant Symphony No. 39, a mature work distinguished by its architectural clarity and classical elegance. It will be followed by Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, known as the “Romantic”, a monumental orchestral piece blending spiritual fervour with epic grandeur. This programme highlights two interpretations of musical sublimity, ranging from classical balance to mystical intensity.

On Friday May 22nd 2026, it will be Berlioz’s Requiem that resounds, performed by tenor Pene Pati, whose vocal power and expressiveness promise to elevate this monumental work. A true funeral fresco, this Requiem calls for a colossal orchestra and striking sound effects, reflecting Berlioz’s theatrical and innovative vision.

These two concerts, held outside the traditional opera house setting, at the Philharmonie de Paris, invite audiences to rediscover great masterpieces in all their expressive intensity.

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!
