Concert halls Lorraine

A concert hall dedicated to contemporary music in Metz, the Boîte à Musiques (BAM), which can accommodate up to 1,115 people, is located in the heart of the Metz-Borny district. A modular venue, it also has a balcony that can accommodate 300 people. Its large, bright hall and its astonishing openings to the outside make it a unique and remarkable venue with architecture by Rudy Ricciotti. The programming is eclectic and open to all genres, from jazz to experimental, from reggae to world music... On concert evenings you can enjoy a drink at the BAM bar. As part of the "Metz en Scènes" project, BAM also supports the musicians and project leaders in their initiatives, and provides them with administrative and artistic support, including three rehearsal studios and a 100-seat stage area. Several artists are thus "in residence" in this new cultural and musical venue of the City of Metz. Training workshops are open to the public to discover a technical aspect of the music: sound systems, vocals...

L'Autre Canal is the reference venue for contemporary music in Nancy. Created in 2007, this building with its bright red modern architecture is recognizable among thousands.

Since 1895… this date does not refer to a famous advertising for chocolate but to the creation, on the initiative of writer Maurice Pottecher, of the theatre of Bussang. The effect is similar: equally well founded!

Every summer except in times of war, shows were presented and were a feast for everyone's taste. The stage at the bottom of a barn, enlarged as it surrounds boxes and kitchen, has preserved the pioneer spirit of benches arranged in a simple way to "feed the people of the people" according to the wishes of its founder. Pierre Bein, the current director of the theatre, has in his hands a jewel and nuggets, young talent, amateur actors often trained by professionals for whom the experience of staging in Bussang remains etched. Here the pieces written by Molière, Hugo, Gogol, Renard, Shakespeare and many others have been played. The spectators are on schedule. It even seems that some have been coming for generations. Last winter, there was a mountain story, the Henry and Vincendon case in winter 1956 and conducted the tour of Christmas markets with a 12 minutes room for "average Western"!

From early music to contemporary music, the Opera presents masterpieces of the classical repertoire, a passionate repertoire and lyrical discoveries, to appeal to a wide audience. Labelled "National Opera" in 2006, it was restored in 1994 to recreate it as it was on the day of its inauguration in 1919, namely an Italian-style theater with boxes, balcony and galleries, a pastiche of an 18th century opera, created by the Alsatian Joseph Hanecker.

In one of the most beautiful areas of Metz, the Port Saint-Marcel is home to a unique venue: this intimate and comfortable theater hosts hilarious quality comedies all year long, performed by professional actors from all over France.

The plus : the place can be privatized. With a private access, the partner restaurant Chez la Marie, will welcome you before or after the shows to prolong the conviviality of the evening around a drink or a meal.

The Imax leads us into an extraordinary adventure by plunging us almost physically into the film. The image is in three dimensions - known as 3 D - and projected on a screen of 18 m on 24 m, or two tennis courts (430 m ²)! On in blue chairs, lunettes glasses on the nose (Michou style), guaranteed hen meat during the show hour. A look at spectators for smile: it is not uncommon for hands or arms to spiral in face protection! This process, which is courageous moreover, but not heart, makes a tower in the Keel Dynamic. Wraparound to one of the 25 chairs of this small ship and face the screen, you will experience the adventure throughout your body! " Suffer "at least once!

The Tram is a third place composed of three distinct spaces: a municipal music conservatory with a 120-seat auditorium, a youth and extracurricular reception area and finally a performance hall. The rich and varied programming ranges from one-man shows, including several comedians, to theater and concerts. The Petit Tram offers fun musical shows to awaken children (from 5 years old) to the sounds of different instruments. The literary aperitifs put forward stories and portraits on a theme. The actors of the DEST theater company lend their voices to paint a society that resembles us.

The UGC Ciné Cité in Ludres offers fourteen cinemas, each larger and more comfortable than the last, for the enjoyment of moviegoers. Every week, a selection of films and new releases.
