The Theatre being above all a place of sharing and exchange, this show-course, a true contemporary mythological work, is accessible to all audiences and designed to be experienced with friends or family.

SPECTACUL'ART SINGS FRANCE GALL
I am happy to participate in this evening which will be cultural, musical and surprising!
Combining humor and classical music was my dream and Orange did it! See you soon!
Élie Semoun
The Orange Symphonic Show aims to combine humor and the great repertoire of symphonic music. Taking place in the breathtaking setting of the Ancient Theatre, it will give the audience the unique opportunity to take part in a musical journey around mythology.
Guided by the narration of Élie Semoun and carried by a symphony orchestra and a choir of more than 200 artists and a ballet, the show will offer an anthology of iconic works. Stravinsky's Firebird, excerpts from Wagner's operas or Mahler's symphonies, Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, will thus cross the path of Massenet's meditation on Thaïs or Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
In this sublime screen dating from the first century, classical music will be more popular than ever and illuminated in a new light.
Under the baton of Benjamin Garzia, the Mahlerian Camerata orchestra - deployed here in large formation - will have the pleasure of welcoming on stage the students and teachers of the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Communal of Orange. Placed under the sign of the Greek and Nordic Gods, this evening of June 2 is therefore announced as a great popular gathering where artistic excellence, laughter and sharing will perhaps resonate up to Mount Olympus or Valhalla.
FRIDAY 9 & SATURDAY 10 JUNE 2023 - 9:30PM

JAMIROQUAI
A band called Jamiroquai arrived on Earth in the 90's, led by a young soulman rocked by jazz named Jay Kay. This was followed by a worldwide success with more than 27 million albums sold, Grammy Award nominations, multiple sold-out tours and more than 30 years of existence...
Over the years, Jamiroquai's music has remained true. Anchored as much in the past as in the present with groovy, electro-funk or even disco sounds.
