SUMMARY:Essayez-vous au chant lyrique !
DESCRIPTION:The workshop "Essayez-vous au chant lyrique !", led by Renaud Boutin, takes place on Wednesday 30 December 2026 from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm at the Cité internationale de la langue française in Villers-Cotterêts, from age 7, at 9 euros per adult and free under 18.\nHere is a date for anyone who has always dreamed of singing opera but never dared: on Wednesday 30 December 2026, from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, in the salle Québec of the Cité internationale de la langue française, 1 place Aristide Briand in Villers-Cotterêts.\n\nLed by Renaud Boutin, the workshop prepares you to take part in The Magic Flute (La Flûte enchantée), in a brand new French version. The idea is to become part of this philosophical musical tale by singing certain passages from the auditorium during the performance on 30 December. The rehearsal welcomes everyone aged 7 to 107, and no previous experience or minimum singing level is required. Before the show, tutorials will be made available on the Cité's website.\n\nThe workshop lasts 2 hours and is open from age 7. The adult price is 9 euros, including entry to the permanent exhibition, and it is free for under-18s. Tickets are booked on the Cité's website. The tourist office mentions a lift and toilets.\n\nAs the Cité puts it, everyone can sing. I will only add one tip: drink a little water before you start.\nDate: Wednesday 30 December 2026, 10.30 am to 12.30 pm (2 hours). Venue: Cité internationale de la langue française, salle Québec, 1 place Aristide Briand, 02600 Villers-Cotterêts. From age 7. Prices: adults 9 euros (permanent exhibition included), free under 18. Booking: cite-langue-francaise.fr. Lift, toilets.\nI love the idea: the rehearsal is open "from 7 to 107", so I believe nobody has an age excuse. I suggest watching the online tutorials before you come, so you arrive with a few notes up your sleeve. And if you sing off key, I think The Magic Flute has survived worse.\nOpera singing workshop in Villers-Cotterêts, 30 December\nEssayez-vous au chant lyrique ! at the Cité, Villers-Cotterêts, Wed 30 Dec 2026, 10.30 am to 12.30 pm: The Magic Flute, from age 7, 9 euros per adult.\nWhen is the opera singing workshop in Villers-Cotterêts?\nOn Wednesday 30 December 2026, from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, in the salle Québec at the Cité internationale de la langue française.\nDo I need to know how to sing?\nNo, no previous experience or minimum singing level is required.\nHow much does the workshop cost?\n9 euros per adult, including entry to the permanent exhibition, and free for under-18s.\nWhat is the minimum age?\nThe workshop is open from age 7.\nWhich work is the workshop about?\nThe Magic Flute, in a new French version, with participants singing certain passages from the auditorium during the performance on 30 December.
