Opera Highlight 2007
Three exceptionnal performances, at the new "Salle Pleyel" and "Opera Bastille", with Nathalie Dessay, Beatrice Uria-Monzon, Roberto Alagna.
The new Pleyel
IDSH, owner of the Salle Pleyel, conceived and initiated a major architectural and acoustic renovation program between 2004 and 2006. The Ministry of Culture and Communication then authorized the lease of the Salle Pleyel to the Cité de la Musique, a public establishment under its supervision that has been called upon to administer this great concert hall, which now has all of the characteristics that are expected of an auditorium of quality and prestige. The renovations that were conceived and undertaken by IDSH respond to the ambitions of a project to recover the plainness and purity that characterised the original aesthetic of the place. The restoration of the façades, of the hall, of the foyer and the interior of the hall, give the whole a more seductive appearance and greatly improve its comfort. The work also provided the occasion to enlarge and reconfigure the spaces allotted to the public and to the artists. They make it possible to transform the conditions for playing and listening by optimising the acoustics of the hall.
