History
Daring to be marvelous
Founded and directed by Pierre Mollaret, the concerts of Les Arènes Lyriques take place every year at the same time – from the last weekend of July to the third weekend of August – in the garden of the Montmartre arena in Paris.
The concept? To bring together each year a unique ensemble of young soloists – violinists, conductors, singers, pianists – chosen for their talent, personality, and background, and to create with them an ephemeral concert, performed only 15 times exclusively for Les Arènes Lyriques.
At Les Arènes Lyriques, there is no theme. On the contrary, the programming is free and instinctive. It is designed solely for the pleasure of music and aims to showcase the soloists who perform it in the best possible way.
