Opéra national de Paris

With a history spanning over 350 years, the Paris Opera offers each season a lyrical and choreographic program at the highest level of excellence, at the Palais Garnier and Opéra Bastille. The institution pursues three fundamental missions: creation – at the very heart of its activities – openness to all audiences – through an accessible pricing policy, dedicated arts and cultural education programs, tours, and performance broadcasts – and the transmission of its knowledge and expertise – contributing to the enrichment of a shared heritage, notably through its Academy, which hosts singers and instrumentalists in residence, and its Ballet School.

Through its contribution to the AROP’s Cercle Taglioni (Circle of Patrons) since 2024, the MAD Foundation supports the Paris Opera Ballet School in fulfilling its key missions: education, by accompanying the talents of all students, irrespective of their background or circumstances; stage experience, through ambitious seasonal programming and enriching the School’s repertoire; work environment, by supporting the School’s health department; and finally outreach, by backing recordings and broadcasts of performances, masterclasses, and international exchanges.
