As our world faces major crises that shake us, culture offers new paths, fosters hope, and builds shared destinies. It is what binds us.
While we dedicate significant budgets to our Opera, we want its offerings to be shared and accessible to as many people as possible. This commitment to openness is reflected in its exceptional and ever-renewed attendance. Season after season, this institution continues to assert itself as a leading force in artistic creation and performance. The quality of its programming, along with its collaborative initiatives, allows it to shine both in France and abroad.
The 2025-2026 season will once again feature prestigious instrumental ensembles, renowned choreographers, and internationally acclaimed companies. As the Opera of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the O.D. will also present emblematic works of the lyrical repertoire, including Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, and Puccini’s La Bohème.
Our Choir will be in the spotlight, alongside artistic teams from our region with whom we collaborate extensively, including the Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne and the Orchestre Français des Jeunes. In line with its ambition to champion cultural diversity and broaden perspectives, the Opéra de Dijon also opens its doors to circus arts and world music.
And since, as Plato said, “Music gives a soul to our hearts and wings to the mind,” I wish you a beautiful and inspiring 2025-2026 artistic season at the Opéra de Dijon.
