For the second consecutive year, the Nice Opera is actively participating in the national “open doors” days at the opera, sponsored by tenor Roberto Alagna and aimed at opening up opera houses to those who often mistakenly think that their artistic productions are reserved for an elite.
Lectures, backstage tours, musical productions, and dance workshops will allow an increasingly large audience to discover, for some, and appreciate, for others, all the demands required to bring a project to fruition on stage.
