Fourvière Nights « les Nuits de Fourvière »

From June 5th to August 1st 2009

 

Enjoy the unique pleasure of a show in the heart of an antique theatre.

Lyon’s cultural festival presents a diversified program. Its flawless quality clearly makes it this summer’s unmissable event.

 

Once again, this edition of the Fourvière Nights offers an international program, 51 performances and many creations.

 

As far as musical theater is concerned, Germany has pride of place, with Purcell’s “Dido & Aeneas” by Sasha Walz, “Cassandra” according to Christa Wolf, and Brecht’s “Mère Courage” by the Berliner Ensemble.

The opening night: Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”, revisited by the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio multi-ethnic band, a world premiere!

 

The brilliant Kronos Quartet’s creation, specially commissioned by the Fourvière Nights.

 

« West Side Story » and the tribute paid by numerous French artists to Boris Vian on his fiftieth death anniversary (creation).

 

If you love dance, indulge yourself with the trio Sylvie Guilhem, Robert Lepage, Russell Maliphant!

Franck Sorbier, couture from Mind, body and soul

From the 18th of March to the 20th of September 2009

At the Lyon Fabric Museum (Musée des Tissus de Lyon)

 

Attention, this is a must-see exhibition!

 

The Fabric Museum invites you on a tour of the work of Franck Sorbier, through ten years of Haute Couture creations, of working intimately with fabric, of artistic passion.

 

170 unique pieces, stage costumes, sculpted materials and perpetual creation whose originality and imagination can only seduce!

 

Franck Sorbier is organising this exhibition labelled an "exhibition of national interest" by the Minister of Culture and Communication.

 

It's naturally in Lyon, the city of fabric and silk, of know-how and the passing down of a globally unique heritage, where Franck Sorbier's first retrospective takes place.

 

A colourful world, an unleashed imagination... and an event that's not to be missed for any reason!
