The Lille Opera Choir’s role is to participate in the lyric productions of the Opera (Rigoletto, Le nozze di Figaro, La Périchole, Carmen, The Elixir of Love, Macbeth…), and also to give concerts on tour and at the Lille Opera House, within the framework of the Wednesday Concerts at 6 p.m. season.

The Belgian ensemble Ictus is composed of some 20 soloists of the highest level. Its programming covers a broad spectrum of styles, but each of its concerts takes the listener on a coherent and attractive adventure: thematic concerts, concerts with commentary or stage productions. Since its residence began in 2003, these ever-original and convivial events have enjoyed tremendous success with a broad range of audiences. Each season, Ictus also leads a number of original projects initiated by the Lille Opera with educational establishments (conservatories, CFMI), with classes for teachers and a musical programme for primary schools.
