Story

Founded and directed by Pierre Mollaret, the Arènes Lyriques concerts take place every year at the same time: from the last weekend in July to the third in August, in the heart of the Montmartre arena gardens in Paris.

Each year, the aim is to bring together a unique group of young soloists – violinists, singers and pianists – to perform an ephemeral musical programme, devised by them and performed just ten times. 

Every evening, in the intimacy of this little-known venue, the Arènes Lyriques creates a precious encounter between promising young artists and an audience from all horizons.
