36th Summer Festival of Nuits Lyriques 2024

Les Nuits Lyriques and Cinéma Le Plaza have had close ties for many years, and this partnership pays tribute to the close ties between these two arts, which share a tendency to tell emotional and visual stories that arouse deep emotions in audiences.

Antoine, a young Parisian suburbanite, studies accountancy without much conviction, dividing his time between his talented rap battles and his job as a sushi delivery boy. During a run at the Opéra Garnier, his path crosses that of Mme Loyseau, a singing teacher at the venerable institution, who detects in Antoine a raw talent to be nurtured. Despite his lack of operatic culture, Antoine is fascinated by this form of expression and is persuaded to follow Madame Loyseau’s teaching. Antoine has no choice but to lie to his family, his friends and the whole city, for whom opera is a bourgeois affair, far removed from their world.
