Performing opera from a young age is a unique adventure that Opéra Junior has been offering to young people in Montpellier and the surrounding region for over 30 years. From the age of 4, children have the opportunity to be trained in singing, dance, and theater, and to discover all the professions of opera, working alongside composers, conductors, musicians, directors, costume designers, set designers, and professional technicians. Let yourself be charmed by the talent and energy of our young performers!
