Paris - Opera-dance-concert-theatre

Paris has had an unparalleled reputation for centuries as one of the main (if not THE one!)cultural powerhouse of Europe, attracting like a magnet artists and intellectuals. Paris is recognized to this days as a place where new ideas originate and art reigns supreme.

Some would be inclined to say that Paris cultural life has more and more leaned towards show and glitter with substance getting thinner and thinner, but it is beyond doubts that no matter your taste you will find cultural life in Paris still highly active and attractive.

It is therefore difficult not to say impossible, to make a list of the hundreds of little theatres, churches and other less conventioanl places where events take place.

Some of the most known places are listed below, together with some sites that have a constantly updated list of all shows, concerts and cultural events in Paris.

To stay on top of everything one suggestion is to buy for less than a euro either L'officiel des Spectacles or Pariscope at the newsstand, where you will find anything from cinema to theatres to concerts of any kind of music for the week (the new ones come out on wednesdays) to vernissage, ehxibits in and around Paris.

You can buy or book your tickets online, here are some websites:

Fnac the site is in French only but it is pretty easy to navigate to see the most recent shows in town.
