Opera on the Côte d'AzuR

 

"It is a class act, much more than Glyndebourne-on-the-Med. I have never felt so intensely part of a Mozart opera..."

Financial Times

The Festival, founded in 1997,  takes place each year in August on Cap Ferrat, the Mediterranean’s most exclusive

location.

 

We make opera engaging and accessible. Each night we give every one of our 200 guests an unforgettable evening of opera in a fairytale setting. Our venue gives an immediate connection between performers and audience that is rare in an opera house.

 

The covered patio of the magnificent

Belle Époque Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

provides the most intimate space for a fully-staged opera performed in the round. You are drawn into the heart of the performance, experiencing a thrillingly personal encounter with the operatic voice. Singing of exceptional quality and verve in the original language is made fully accessible by English and French surtitles. 

 

The magic continues after some performances when the artists join you for dinner under the stars, in the magnificent gardens. The evening is like a modern equivalent of an 18th century soirée which is how the Villa was originally intended to be used by Baroness Ephrussi.
