Opera Montmartre is an associative community project that aims to renew popular opera for all ages and audiences. Through its multiple initiatives, Opera Montmartre hopes to contribute to the promotion of opera culture for a new and more diverse public, to offer new opportunities to students through workshops in high school, and to reinforce the community's connection with classical music. Finally, Opera Montmartre aims to delight, surprise and move a new generation with the masterpieces of the past, presented in new and original ways - shorter, more expressive adaptations that nonetheless do not sacrifice their musical and dramatic quality.

Opera should not just be a pastime for the elite. The masterpieces of the past, amongst them a large number of French works, are today relatively unknown to the wider public beyond a few familiar melodies. But these works deserve to be presented with passion, renewed for our time with creativity and respect so that a new generation may reappropriate their cultural heritage.

We will stage opera outside the traditional well-known venues. We will make opera more financially accessible by performing in unusual spaces, and at the same time create staging and scenery that allow these works to be reimagined in the context of our time.

Opera Montmartre aims to integrate itself into the artistic and social networks of the 18th arrondissement and the cultural programs of the City of Paris. We intend to find and promote local talent, creative use of spaces, and existing cultural treasures. We will reinforce the cultural and artistic community and make opera more accessible. Our members and volunteers will support this project as it becomes, little by little, an enduring cultural institution on the Butte de Montmartre and in Paris. Our connections with musical teaching institutions will allow us to offer training and workshops to help young musicians discover and participate in this extraordinary art form.
