These costumes were crafted for the stage, a testament to the Paris Opera workshops’ craftsmanship. The selection will notably include pieces drawn from Eugene Onéguine, Les Capulet et les Montaigu, Eliogabalo, Les Indes galantes, La Veuve joyeuse and Samson et Dalila. On the dance side, items from AIR, Coppélia, Psyché or Siddharta will also be on offer.

Prices will range from €2 to €800, depending on the piece, with payment exclusively by card. The Opéra also plans a restocking to keep a selection in each time slot, so the sale isn’t decided solely by the first shoppers.
