Thirty-five years…

It is a very long time and yet so short.

It is with serenity and ambition that the Nuits Lyriques de Marmande approach this honorable age, always with the same ardent desire to make live, discover and love the lyric art to those who do not know it yet.

Music and opera belong to everyone and we want to help spread the virus!

For 35 years, the improbable graft of an International Singing Competition in rural areas has miraculously taken hold in Marmande.

And every year, great opera professionals gather here in the Garonne region to listen to, appreciate, reward and engage an impressive number of young opera artists from all over the world.

Nothing would have been possible without the constant, intense and enthusiastic investment of dozens and dozens of volunteers who bring this crazy cultural and human adventure to life every year.

We are waiting for more and more of our audience of yesterday, today and tomorrow, to walk together, thanks to all our partners, towards these tomorrows that “sing” and “will sing”.
