Un Monde Ensemble

In a world where violence seems to triumph, a breath of hope rises... The children of the Val des Fées housing estate refuse to accept fatality and take their neighborhood back into their own hands. An electrifying rock opera that proves that together, anything is possible.

Un Monde Ensemble is a musical explosion combining orchestral music, song, slam, percussion and urban dance. Performed by 150 young people from the Nice Est neighborhoods, this vibrant show transforms the stage into a space of revolt and hope. After two years of rehearsals, the participants will share their struggles, dreams and aspirations on the Opera's main stage. This project goes beyond the stage, bringing together the local population with an original creation, meetings with inspiring personalities, a citizen consultation and performances. A human adventure in which young people unite to build a fairer future.

Show in French, surtitled in French and English.

OGC Nice: ‘Un monde ensemble’ launched by the Nice Opera, the City of Nice and OGC Nice

Jean-Pierre Rivère, President of OGC Nice, on the project:
"We are very touched to be involved in this wonderful project. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in running it. I also congratulate the children, because they are the actors. I watched the children sing individually and I found that they all had incredible individual strength. There is a collective strength. Each one will flourish, find their way, and collectively, I am convinced that we will make this project a magnificent success. We are going to help create dreams for children. A child must always have dreams. Nothing is impossible. At OGC Nice, we are very committed to children, which is a major focus of our civic work through the Endowment Fund. We will be back here with Jonathan Clauss, and we will welcome you throughout the project at the Training Centre. The bond will continue to grow throughout this wonderful project."

The Jacques Martel Fund: A new collaboration with the Nice Opera

"It was said time and again throughout the presentation of “Un Monde Ensemble”: you have to dream big and work hard to achieve your dreams. The Jacques Martel Fund wholeheartedly agrees with this sentiment and is proud to support this magnificent project."

Everyone on stage!

This show is part of our “Tous en scène!” program, which brings to life, each year, a participatory opera created with children from Nice under real stage conditions.
