Spotlight on the Montpellier National Orchestra on the occasion of the 31st Victoires de la Musique Classique this Thursday, February 29 at the Berlioz Opera at the Corum.

Event for the Montpellier National Opera in the Berlioz room at the Corum which hosted the Victoires de la Musique Classique this Thursday, February 29. This 31st ceremony, broadcast live on several television channels, took place in front of an audience delighted to seize this opportunity.

The opera house was not already full when Stéphane Bern, who officiated as master of ceremonies, was already in duplex. To immediately put spectators in the live atmosphere, far from the spontaneity of a recital. Before the spotlight fell on the stage of the Berlioz opera, spectators discovered students from several Montpellier dance schools in a choreography by Mehdi Kerkouche.< /p>
