The Paris Opera

Behind the Scenes of a French Institution

Sweeping in scope yet full of intimate moments, THE PARIS OPERA offers a candid look behind the scenes of one of the world's foremost performing arts institutions.

Over the course of one tumultuous season, director Jean-Stephane Bron nimbly juggles multiple storylines - from ballet and opera rehearsals, to strike negotiations, last minute crises and ticket disputes - revealing the dedication of the talented personnel who bring breathtaking spectacles to the stage night after night.

Official Selection at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Winner of Best Documentary at the Moscow International Film Festival.

"Bron's film is an impressionistic immersion into a complex organization or hundreds of dedicated, talented people, for whom, whatever happens, the show must go on." - Peter Keough, Boston Globe
