Each summer, the Arènes de Montmartre transforms into an intimate open-air venue for Les Arènes Lyriques, a unique musical season set against the romantic lights of Montmartre. From late July to mid-August, eight soloists and the Orchestre des Arènes Lyriques come together for sixteen ephemeral concerts at dusk.
The 2026 season, titled "E Fra le nubi d’or" ("Among the golden clouds"), spans from Puccini to Nina Simone, blending the power of romantic opera with the lightness of soul. Each evening concludes with the suspended moment of Catalani's aria from *La Wally*, giving the season its name.
Attendees can expect an intimate experience in the historic arena, with performances that resonate through the warm Parisian night. The venue offers a chance to hear vocal and orchestral music in one of the city's most charming settings.
