Building bridges between the Opéra and our future public…
Our cultural mediation service builds bridges between the Opéra de Lausanne and its future audiences.
Both young and old music lovers are invited to discover the wonderful world of opera!
How do you approach opera with children? Pushing open the doors of an opera house means exploring a new universe, opening up to a different way of experiencing emotions and discovering the professions essential to the show.
Initiation to Opera
Two opera singers have invented a thrilling story for the young ears of our small music lovers.
In just 45 minutes, children will travel through the operatic repertoire, as our trio takes them through an anthology of well-known arias, accompanied by a pianist. In the warm, cosy atmosphere of the Salon Alice Bailly, a story is brought to life by characters dressed in costumes, wigs and make-up. A unique and captivating recital!
Wednesdays at the Opera
Awaken your children’s curiosity…
Machinist, lighting designer, props designer, make-up artist, costume designer and of course… singer ! So many jobs essential to the creation of an opera.
The Opéra de Lausanne opens its doors to young people so that they can spend a Wednesday afternoon behind the curtain. During this visit, children will have the opportunity to meet the various people involved in the life of the Theatre, from technicians to artists. Opera will no longer hold any secrets for them!
