An exciting event is brewing at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, which will host Benjamin Bernheim’s first Parisian Werther. Widely considered one of today’s greatest French tenors, he will perform from March 22 to April 6, 2025, in a production directed by Christof Loy.

This staging also marks a milestone for another beloved artist, well-known to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées audience and Parisians alike. Marina Viotti, who captivated the public during the Olympic Games opening ceremony by singing a hard rock version of a Carmen aria while perched on the Fluctuat nec mergitur ship in front of the beheaded of the Conciergerie, is back. She has just won a Grammy Award for “Best Metal Performance” alongside the band Gojira.

The stunning Swiss mezzo-soprano, who debuted her first Carmen at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, will once again honor Paris by taking on another iconic role: Charlotte.
