The Opera in French Guiana program will conclude its fifth and final season in the 2026-2027 academic year. Launched with the goal of expanding the reach of the Paris National Opera to the diverse regions of French Guiana, the initiative has grown over the years through partnerships in cities such as Cayenne, Rémire-Montjoly, Matoury, Kourou, Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, Maripasoula, Papaïchton, and more recently, Camopi. This final season will be divided into two parts, each highlighting different aspects of the opera and dance worlds. The first part of the season will take place from October 21 to 23, 2026, at Les Trois Fleuves in Cayenne. The event, titled Une nuit dansée à l’Opéra, will feature performances by four stars of the Paris National Opera Ballet: Dorothée Gilbert, Alice Renavand, Stéphane Bullion, and Mathieu Ganio. Under the artistic direction of Simon Valastro, the evening will include a variety of performances from the repertoire, such as the pas de deux from Act III of L’Histoire de Manon by Kenneth MacMillan, Elsewhere by Simon Valastro, Signes by Carolyn Carlson, and Le Parc by Angelin Preljocaj. From October 24 to 29, the program will also offer dance and singing classes in several locations across French Guiana. These classes will include classical dance with Alice Renavand and Stéphane Bullion, contemporary dance with Marion Gautier de Charnacé, and singing with Morgan Jourdain, held in Cayenne, Kourou, Rémire-Montjoly, and Matoury. The second and final session of the season will be held in April 2027, focusing on lyrical singing. During this time, artists in residence at the Academy will reunite in Cayenne for Une nuit chantée à l’Opéra, centered around Mozart’s Così fan tutte. Violin workshops will also be conducted by Elisabeth Pallas from the Paris National Opera Orchestra. Although the Opera in French Guiana program is ending, the Paris Opera has stated its intention to maintain its strong ties with cultural institutions in the region. Notably, the Conservatoire de Musique, Danse et Théâtre de Guyane is expected to be a key partner in future collaborations, ensuring that the cultural exchange between Paris and French Guiana continues in new forms.
