In our auditorium’s warm acoustics and intimate sightlines, the festival’s crisp seasonal atmosphere becomes a canvas for subtle arrangements, daring collaborations, and the kind of close connection between stage and audience that only a venue like ours can offer.

The festival’s identity thrives on surprise, and our team’s technical design—meticulous sound, sculpted light, and considered stagecraft—supports that spirit. Whether you discover a new favorite or meet a familiar artist in a new light, Festival Les Nuits Givrées at L'Aqueduc is crafted to foreground the living pulse of contemporary performance while keeping comfort, accessibility, and hospitality at the heart of the experience.

Artistic Highlights and Stagecraft

This edition places artistry front and center, spotlighting creators who bring their latest projects to the fore—fresh arrangements, recently penned pieces, and tour sets refined by months on the road. Our programming embraces contrasts in tone and texture: intimate chanson rubs shoulders with indie pop colors, folk-tinged storytelling meets electronic shimmer, and voices that favor narrative detail find resonance in our room’s natural clarity. The result is a festival arc that feels both curated and free-flowing, a journey shaped by our artists’ present-tense energy. L'Aqueduc’s stage team collaborates closely with each act to ensure that lighting palettes, backline, and spatial design elevate the music while preserving the spontaneity that makes live performance so irresistible. Expect to hear new material unveiled with the immediacy of the moment, signature pieces reframed for the season, and collaborations that could only happen here, in this space, under the winter banner of Festival Les Nuits Givrées.

Because L'Aqueduc is more than a room—it is a meeting point for audiences and artists—your visit to Festival Les Nuits Givrées is designed as a complete experience. From the moment you arrive, our team guides you through a welcoming flow that favors ease and discovery: comfortable seating, clear sightlines, and sound that balances intimacy with dynamic headroom. Between sets, the foyer hums with the low buzz of conversations sparked by what you’ve just heard, and our staff remain on hand to assist with timing, access, and any practical details that keep the focus where it belongs: on the stage. We have calibrated our schedules to make each evening feel like a narrative in three acts—opening discoveries, centerpiece performances, and encores that leave a lingering glow as you step back into the night air. Festival Les Nuits Givrées at L'Aqueduc is where the season’s sharp brightness meets the warmth of shared listening, and where each concert writes its own chapter within the festival’s evolving story.
