A festival in Lyon’s ancient theatres, beneath the stars!

Since 1946, Les Nuits de Fourvière has brought together audiences on its terraced seating beneath the stars.
Each summer in June and July, the festival returns the ancient theatres to their original function, as venues for the performing arts, including music, dance, opera, drama and circus.
While in Paris, artists dream of seeing their name on the bill at L'Olympia, in Lyon, they yearn to perform at Les Nuits de Fourvière!

The festival adopts an open and modern approach, with no themes or constraints, other than the quality and international nature of the line-up.

To provide a few figures, this year’s festival will present 58 drama, dance, music, opera and circus arts shows, including 16 creations, for a total of 131 performances, both in the theatres and outside of the festival site.

As is the case each year, big names share the line-up with up-and-coming artists, while drama sits alongside dance, circus arts and, of course, music of all kinds, including French chanson, pop, rock, jazz, classical and opera.

Outside of the festival site, circus is returning to Lacroix-Laval, while the Théâtre National Populaire (TNP), the Célestins, Théâtre de Lyon and the ENSSATT will be hosting several plays.
