French dance season 2026-2027

Overview

The 2026-2027 dance season in France features a diverse array of performances, ranging from hip-hop tributes and contemporary flamenco-inspired ballet to works by Le Ballet de Lorraine. Highlights include various regional presentations, such as a world premiere in Brittany by the Junior Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris.

The Paris Opera Ballet marked the start of the season with a contemporary-focused opening gala. The event included premieres by Juliano Nunes, Jean-Christophe Maillot, and Aszure Barton, with Étoiles dancers wearing tutus and tiaras created by Chanel.

This season coincides with a period of transition for the Paris Opera, as the Palais Garnier is slated for major renovations from summer 2027 through 2032. Chanel is serving as the patron for these works, which will affect multiple sites including the Opéra Bastille, the Ateliers Berthier, and the Paris Opera Ballet School in Nanterre.
