The
Festival of Aix-en-Provence
This 2008
Festival d'Aix pays tribute to the founders and
all those
who came after them. It bears the signs of the
great moments which have thrilled hundreds of thousands
of festival goers. It covers four centuries of
operatic production while also scrutinising our
world and its future.

The
International festival
of Piano
The
La Roque d'Anthéron
Piano Festival has been the place for pianists
with the courage to express their originality and
their personality. The wise, the insolent and the
prodigious - poets all - are reborn each year under
the ancient plane trees of the Parc de Florans
and the starry vault of the Provençal evenings.

The
Chorégies
d'Orange festival dates from 1860 and
is the oldest festival in France... the perfectly
preserved Roman Theatre, which can hold 9,000 spectators,
and which still has its stage wall, the guarantee
of exceptional acoustics, and to their vocation,
which is lyrical and musical performances, placing
them among the very best French festivals and certainly
one with an indisputable international reputation.
