November 9 at 6pm +4
Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens · Paris
A washed-up diva clings to her final spotlight in Michel Fau's wickedly funny musical satire. Watch her erratic vibrato battle an arrogant tenor and jaded pianist in this decadent operatic trainwreck.
Every day from Nov. 8 to Nov. 16
Maison de la Radio et de la Musique – Radio France · Passy
A soldier trades his violin to the Devil, and a city breaks its pact with the Pied Piper: two tales of Faustian bargains gone wrong. Stravinsky's *L'Histoire du soldat* meets George Benjamin's *Into the Little Hill* in a staging that is, by the programmers' own admission, "logical and unexpected."
Every day at 7:30pm from May 26 to Dec. 30
Bel Canto · 4th Arr. • $$$$
Bel Canto Paris pairs haute cuisine with live opera in a theatrical setting. Young singers from the Opéra National de Paris perform excerpts from *Don Giovanni*, *Tosca*, and *La Bohème* every fifteen minutes while serving your table, turning dinner into an immersive spectacle.
Every day at 7:30pm from May 19 to Dec. 30
Bel Canto · 4th Arr. • $$$$
Young opera singers double as waiters, delivering Duck Foie Gras and Yellow Chicken Supreme before belting out excerpts from *Don Giovanni* and *La Bohème* tableside. It's dinner theater with actual talent: costumes by the Opéra National de Paris and arias every fifteen minutes.
Every day at 6:30pm from Oct. 28 to Dec. 30
Bel Canto · Paris • $$$$
Your waiter might just burst into Tosca between courses. At Bel Canto, young opera singers serve refined French plates and perform arias every fifteen minutes, close enough to give you goosebumps.
November 12 at 7:30pm +1
Maison de la Radio et de la Musique – Radio France · Passy
Puccini's first major hit is a fever dream of desperate passion. Ailyn Pérez and Roberto Alagna bring the doomed lovers to life in a coproduction with London's Royal Opera.

Start with the exhibition or performance that interests you, then build the afternoon around it. Check the temporary exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, or the performance programme at Palais Garnier. One show and time to talk about it over dinner makes a good plan.
Tell me that when you ask. I’d start with exhibitions, live music, or dance. For theatre, comedy, and talks, check the performance language and whether surtitles are available before booking. An English description doesn’t necessarily mean an English-language show.
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.

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.
