A musical dialogue at Saint-Lazare Chapel for Nuit Blanche 2026

La Nuit Blanche lands in Paris for one wild evening, with exhibitions, concerts, performances, installations and shows. Across the length and breadth of the capital, the contemporary art scene surprises us and leads us toward new artistic horizons. Nuit Blanche is a grand, one‑of‑a‑kind celebration of art in all its forms, bringing together enthusiasts, the curious and professionals.

This cultural event has become a staple on the Parisian cultural calendar. No chance of missing the next edition, which takes place this Saturday, June 6, 2026! This year too, Nuit Blanche is expected to surprise and delight with a richly varied program. But what exactly can we expect?

To get the full picture, let’s peek at the lineup for the Saint-Lazare Chapel. This place of worship is a historic monument with a rich history, which was secularized and restored to become a community-driven cultural hub—a vibrant center of life for local residents. In June, the Saint-Lazare Chapel becomes an art hub for Paris’s Nuit Blanche.

The lineup for Nuit Blanche 2026 at the Saint-Lazare Chapel:

• CAMILLE THÉVENEAU, SYLVIE ABÉLANET, COLLECTIF SIDO&CO / White Nights
  From Saturday, June 6, 2026 to Sunday, June 7, 2026: Saturday from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
  

  Music, monumental installation Blanches de Nuit is a multidisciplinary performance conceived to honor the recently renovated Saint-Lazare chapel. Le Paradis en Morceaux, a monumental water-etch by artist Sylvie Abélanet, and its reflection, la Promesse de l'Enfer, a digital work printed on canvas, will be exhibited in full choir. They depict Eve tempting Adam with the forbidden fruit. This biblical reference resonates with the desacralization of the building in 1960, and with its metamorphoses over the past century. In turn, then together, cellist Adèle Théveneau and violinist Camille Théveneau will embody, through the sound of their instruments, the presences of the past. An immersive, suspended moment guided by works by J.S. Bach, Grażyna Bacewicz, Pēteris Vasks, etc., with a thread running through it: the context, the purpose, the audience and the performers. With the support of the 10th arrondissement town hall and Art Culture and Faith
