Le Lac Des Cygnes - Ballet & Orchestre - Paris & Tournée 2026

L’Amphithéâtre 3000 welcomes Le Lac des Cygnes

At L’Amphithéâtre 3000, we are delighted to host Le Lac des Cygnes, an emblematic ballet whose poetry and dramatic sweep feel tailor‑made for our vast stage and immersive acoustics. Our venue in Lyon, conceived for large‑scale spectacles, will frame every tableau—from the moonlit lakeside to the grand court scenes—so that audiences, whether seated in the stalls or higher tiers, experience the same precision of movement and musical clarity. The orchestra pit has been meticulously prepared to support the sweeping dynamics of this score, while our sightlines ensure the nuanced storytelling of the principal roles and the crystalline unity of the corps de ballet are visible in all their finesse. From the moment the foyer doors open, our teams will set an atmosphere that honors the ritual of an evening at the ballet: attentive welcome, seamless orientation, and the calm that allows the first notes to land on a perfectly silent room. Le Lac des Cygnes is more than a classic; in our hall, it becomes a living, breathing encounter between choreography, music, and an audience ready to be moved together.

Ballet et Orchestre – Paris on Tournée 2026

Ballet et Orchestre – Paris arrives at L’Amphithéâtre 3000 as part of Tournée 2026, carrying the momentum of a company committed to transmitting heritage with fresh musical and scenic detail. This season’s touring program is anchored by Le Lac des Cygnes, a work whose dramatic contrasts and symphonic breadth suit the ensemble’s disciplined corps, refined soloists, and full orchestral color. The company’s artistic focus has been on chiseling clarity in ensemble lines, deepening the emotional range of the Odette/Odile duality, and illuminating the narrative through live musical phrasing—priorities that our acoustic profile amplifies. Audiences in France and across Europe have responded to this approach with enthusiasm, and the staging refined on tour will be presented here in Lyon with the same exacting care: sumptuous costumes, evocative scenic textures, and lighting that breathes with the dancers. The Orchestre brings a pliant, theatrical pulse to the score, heightening tension and release in the pas de deux and grand ensembles alike. For our stage, the company has planned spacing, tempi, and transitions calibrated to our dimensions, so that every arabesque and every swell in the strings is felt as a unified dramatic gesture.

Our team at L’Amphithéâtre 3000 has shaped the evening around the audience’s comfort and the production’s flow. The stage is configured to give depth to the lakeside vistas and to accommodate the broad, sculptural patterns of the corps, while our rigging and lighting capabilities support swift shifts between nocturnal mystery and courtly brilliance. The orchestra pit positioning ensures a vivid, unforced balance between dancers and musicians, allowing the score to speak without overpowering the delicate articulation of movement. Patrons will find clear wayfinding, attentive staff, and amenities designed to keep the pre‑show and intermission rhythm serene. We recommend arriving with time to settle into the space; the architecture and atmosphere of our hall are part of the experience, inviting quiet focus before the first downbeat. From the opening scene to the final apotheosis, the storytelling will unfurl in long, musical arcs, with the grandeur of a 3,000‑seat amphitheater and the intimacy of a shared breath between stage and audience—an encounter we are proud to host in Lyon.
