There's money for Above The Curve who is 4/1, the same price as La Parisienne. I think she wins and so does the market which has her at 2/1, a fair bit shorter than she was this morning. Teddy Grimthorpe is being interviewed and is hopeful Nashwa will handle the ground but offers the usual caveat that 'it's not a given'. We will be providing reports as soon as possible on the Abbaye and Foret that follow that with all hands on deck. The company's training bodies are also active, with 7 concerts from the Atelier Lyrique and 4 programmes from the École de Danse.1548: They are on their way to post for the Prix de l'Opera which will be the last race on the blog. In the 2012–2013 season, the Paris Opera presented 18 opera titles (two in a double bill), 13 ballets, 5 symphonic concerts and two vocal recitals, plus 15 other programmes. Each year, the Paris Opera presents about 380 performances of opera, ballet and other concerts, to a total audience of about 800,000 people (of whom 17% come from abroad), with an average seat occupancy rate of 94%. With this money, the company runs the two houses and supports a large permanent staff, which includes the orchestra of 170, a chorus of 110 and the corps de ballet of 150. The company's annual budget is in the order of 200 million euros, of which €100M come from the French state and €70M from box office receipts. Small scale and contemporary works are also staged in the 500-seat Amphitheatre under the Opéra Bastille.
Currently called the Opéra national de Paris, it mainly produces operas at its modern 2,723-seat theatre Opéra Bastille which opened in 1989, and ballets and some classical operas at the older 1,979-seat Palais Garnier which opened in 1875.
Classical ballet as it is known today arose within the Paris Opera as the Paris Opera Ballet and has remained an integral and important part of the company. It was founded in 1669 by Louis XIV as the Académie d'Opéra, and shortly thereafter was placed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lully and officially renamed the Académie Royale de Musique, but continued to be known more simply as the Opéra. The Paris Opera (French: Opéra de Paris, IPA: (listen)) is the primary opera and ballet company of France.
