Casse-noisette - Ballet & Orchestre - Paris & Tournée 2026/2027

Casse-Noisette with Ballet & Orchestre de Paris at L’Amphithéâtre 3000

We are proud to welcome Casse-Noisette to L’Amphithéâtre 3000 in Lyon, as Ballet & Orchestre de Paris bring the sparkle and wonder of their Tournée 2026-2027 to our stage. From the moment the house lights dim, our vast, modern hall becomes a world of snow-dusted dreams and shimmering waltzes, perfectly suited to a production that marries grand-scale visuals with intimate detail. Our audience comes for the magic, and the magic arrives in full: a growing tree, whirling snowflakes, and the rich colors of a live orchestra breathing life into Tchaikovsky’s timeless score. L’Amphithéâtre 3000 is designed for experiences just like this—clear sightlines across the room, refined acoustics that reveal the softest celesta and the sweep of full strings, and a stage capable of welcoming lavish sets and a large ensemble. Whether you join us as a family discovering the ballet for the first time or as a devoted admirer of the classical repertoire, Casse-Noisette here promises an immersive encounter with a beloved tradition.

An ensemble in motion: Ballet & Orchestre de Paris and their current artistic momentum

Ballet & Orchestre de Paris arrive in Lyon with the assurance of an ensemble that understands both heritage and renewal. Their Tournée 2026-2027 highlights a dedication to live symphonic accompaniment, stylistic finesse, and storytelling that feels immediate and heartfelt. The company’s recent seasons have emphasized musical clarity and nuanced character work, allowing the choreography to breathe while the orchestra shapes the narrative with color and dynamic breadth. Our hall’s acoustical profile complements this approach: the woodwinds sing with transparency, the brass project with warmth rather than glare, and the strings carry a glow that flatters both lyrical passages and sharply defined rhythms. As a venue, we feel the pulse of their artistry in rehearsal as much as in performance—attention to ensemble cohesion, fine-tuned pacing from scene to scene, and a shared commitment to making classical ballet feel fresh for today’s audiences. While Casse-Noisette stands at the center of this tour, the company’s broader artistic identity—rooted in rigorous technique, expressive acting, and orchestral excellence—ensures that every moment on our stage is calibrated for impact, from hushed solos to sweeping finales.

Attending Casse-Noisette at L’Amphithéâtre 3000 is to experience the ballet’s narrative arc in a space engineered for clarity and enchantment. The convivial bustle of the Act I celebration, the crystalline hush of the winter landscape, and the kaleidoscopic divertissements of Act II unfold with a sense of scale that suits the spectacle while preserving the human heartbeat at its core. Listeners will relish how the celesta in the “Danse de la Fée Dragée” seems to glow in the room, how the “Valse des Fleurs” blooms in radiant layers, and how rhythmic fireworks ignite the “Trepak”—all articulated by the precision and warmth of the Orchestre de Paris. Our stage technologies support swift, seamless transformations, allowing the visual poetry of the production—lighting, costumes, and scenic illusions—to meet the music on equal terms. For families, longtime ballet enthusiasts, and curious newcomers, L’Amphithéâtre 3000 offers an inviting setting: welcoming foyers, attentive staff, and a hall whose architecture encourages shared wonder. We are delighted to set the scene so that the artists can do what they do best: turn Lyon’s evening air into a memory of grace, color, and festive joy with Casse-Noisette.
