Opéra and Co · founded by Nadège Meden
Opera · Dance · Theatre · Circus · Sign language
A multidisciplinary opera company leading committed projects with a strong social impact.
01
La Lune dans les yeux is a non-profit association (loi 1901) created to develop multidisciplinary projects that bring opera together with dance, theatre, circus arts and French Sign Language.
02
Opera should go out to meet its audiences and become a place where different social and cultural groups come together. Art is about sharing, and a powerful tool for social connection.
03
In unusual venues, in public spaces or in concert halls, the company constantly explores new artistic forms and shakes up the codes of lyric music.
Our values
Women on stage · Equal pay · Multidisciplinary · Accessibility · Eco-responsible · Creating bonds · New audiences · Intergenerational
Summer festival · Paris 12th, 13th & 20th
The festival that brings opera into the heart of Paris neighbourhoods. For several weeks every summer, singing, movement and chansigne workshops, concerts and participatory performances take over public spaces, led by professional artists.
All activities are free and open to everyone, with no prior experience needed. Residents, professional and amateur artists, deaf and hearing people, children and adults create together – the audience becomes part of the show.
From contemporary creation to participatory projects in the street, a repertoire of shows and workshops designed to bring opera to everyone.
Contemporary opera
A new contemporary opera born from the meeting of writer and stage director Alice Zeniter and composer-pianist Pablo Murgier.
Participatory
Spreading opera and creating a show with an audience that becomes actor and stakeholder of the performance.
Creation
Inspired by Cocteau and Poulenc: the poetry of a love story, its dreams and hopes, set against the solitude and distress of a break-up.
Opera · dance · LSF
Born from the UrbaN’Opéra workshops: an unprecedented experience mixing opera, dance and French Sign Language.
Creation & outreach
An opera rehearsal with unbearable artists? A comic creation paired with outreach workshops.
Participatory
A flexible participatory show, performed in theatres as well as in public spaces.
Community
Residents’ choirs set up right in apartment buildings and schools, as groups of mutual support and local action.
Show & workshops
Giving women composers the place they deserve, with a show and outreach workshops.
