Tucked behind the Parisian Grands Boulevards is a place that imbues today’s budding talents with the spirit of the major 19th century composers and writers.

The Opéra comique is a theatre. It is also a genre – a blend of dialogue and song - and a repertoire, but, above all, it is the cradle of a lively performing art. The last resident troupe at the Opéra comique dated back to 1971 until recently, but this year, the institution has gone back to its roots and created an academy with 10 young opera singers, picked for their talent, their diversity and the way they complement each other. The first set of singers is already busy transforming the Opéra comique’s history, repertoire and culture into song.
