Immersive Opera is a 360° video-mapping experience, conceived as a visual and sensory ode to lyrical art and theatrical architecture. Set within a monumental space, this enveloping creation reveals the grandeur of the Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur from a fresh perspective: sculpted volumes, luminous textures, ornamental details, and resonant soundscapes come together to magnify the venue’s beauty. More than a show, it is an immersion into the very soul of the theatre — where art, space, and voice become one.

Words from the Creator

"What if the Opera were made for you?

What if all it took was daring to step through the doors and simply allowing yourself to be surprised?

The Opera is a place of emotions, sensations, and shared beauty.

A place that only asks to open itself to you.

Immersive Opera is an immersive experience on a human scale, born from today’s languages, where one feels as much as one understands.

A spectacle that reinvents the way we experience opera: a place more accessible, more free, where we no longer come to whisper, but to live.

The opera is waiting for you. Dare to enter."

Etienne Guiol, creator of the show Immersive Opera.
