The Opera Invites Itself to the Christmas and End-of-Year Festivities

To close the year 2016 in style and start the year 2017 with a bang, an enchanting program is offered by the Nice Opera.

First of all, and for one week, including a performance on December 31, the Ballet Nice Méditerranée will stage the renowned Don Quixote.

Then, on New Year’s Day, it will be the turn of the Symphonic Orchestra to perform the works of great Viennese composers.
