Theaters Indre-Et-Loire

Since its creation in 1794, the Opéra de Tours has established itself as a national opera house. In its splendid Italian-style auditorium, director Laurent Campellone and Patricia Petibon, godmother of the 2023-2024 season, present women fighting against their destiny and diktats. Other news: a partnership with Milan's prestigious Teatro alla Scala; and the creation of an "Orchestre Populaire de l'Opéra de Tours". What's more, the Opéra has been declared a historic monument - all the more reason to go and see it!

In 2022, the Plessis opens its horizons even more by wanting to develop as a "third place". Would Louis XI have imagined such a life for his castle? The historic building has been home to the Cano Lopez company for more than 20 years, which has turned it into a Spanish hostel for all kinds of artists. In addition to the company's creations, the place hosts artists' residencies, concerts, plays and exhibitions in the 72-seat room or in the bar area, which is always convivial. And with the "tiers-lieu", live the perpetual movement!

CDNT, Tº, Théâtre Olympia... The National Dramatic Center of Tours has several names! But it is always at the same place, rue de Lucé, that we find each season a program where contemporary creations occupy a good place, under the direction of Jacques Vincey. About fifteen proposals are to be discovered each season, without forgetting the partnerships with other local theaters to welcome bigger productions. Since 2016, the WET festival has brought together young companies from all over France for three days, for an anthology of creations in several places in the agglomeration. And the smart idea: lunch or a snack at the Tº cafeteria.
