Christa

Théâtre Francine Vasse · Hauts-Pavés
"Christa" is an experimental oratorio that uses ASMR, choir, and opera to imagine a "post-struggle" world where harmony replaces division. A sensory hour suspended above daily chaos.

The Carmen Case

VIVA VERDI !

Raise a glass to Verdi 125 years after his death.

The Angers Nantes Opéra chorus and two resident soloists serve up opera's greatest hits without the five-hour commitment.

Frequently asked questions
How are these operas in Nantes chosen?
I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Is everything here still happening?
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
Do I need an account to use Outgoing?
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Is Outgoing free?
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
