Paris Opera Launches New Platform for Film and Digital Media Productions

Benjamin Millepied

The Paris Opera is opening a virtual third stage, called 3e Scène, which will present works of various media. The venture, choreographer Benjamin Millepied’s brainchild, will be unrelated to specific opera or ballet productions.

The aim is to present thirty new works each season, said Millepied, while also encompassing installations, readings, and other events.
