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.
