About
Following the model of the legendary Vienna New Year Concert, Paris now has its own Grand Christmas Concert: a magical and warm musical event full of seasonal cheer. As a result of the popularity of previous editions, two new events are being offered by the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées to bring the magic of the Christmas season to life in music with some of the most joyous works in the classical repertoire.
