CHANEL CONTINUES ITS PATRONAGE OF THE PARIS OPERA
CHANEL is deeply connected to the arts of Paris. From the days of Gabrielle Chanel to now, this connection will soon transform the Paris Opera. The French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, announced Nouvel Air, Nouvelle Ère, (New Air, New Era), a grand endeavor involving the renovation of all four sites of the Paris Opera: the Palais Garnier, the Opéra Bastille, the Dance School in Nanterre and the Ateliers Berthier.
With the full support and patronage of CHANEL, the program is set to begin in 2027, reaffirming and transforming the historical significance of CHANEL and the Paris Opera while also extending and elevating the cultural legacy of the city of Paris.
President of CHANEL Fashion Activities and President of Chanel SAS, Bruno Pavlovsky, announces the transformation with pride. “The House of CHANEL is proud to be supporting the Opera in this major transformation project, which will contribute to the prestige of the Opera and the City of Paris for decades to come.”
CHANEL has formed a bond with the institution that is rooted in heritage and innovation. As an Exceptional Patron, the House has provided support in all its artistic projects and endeavors from years before and centuries to come.
