On November 15, 2022, Fabien Gabel made his debut with l’Opéra National de Paris at the Opéra Bastille conducting their ‘22/’23 production of Bizet’s Carmen, directed by Calixto Bieito who takes a uniquely modern approach to the classic.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to be making music with the Opera de Paris - an organization that holds such profound memories for me. With my father and grandfather having played trumpet and cello in the orchestra, and myself having performed as an extra in Elektra at age 16... it is truly a nostalgic moment on so many levels. Thank you to everyone who has helped bring me to this point!”
– Fabien Gabel
Fabien will be returning to conduct the production in late January, with performance dates from the 28th of this month to February 25th. Tickets are available for purchase here.
