Moulin Rouge - Menu Fete Theater Tickets, Bal du Moulin Rouge, Paris

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:31:00 GMT

"Féerie" ; 4 main scenes created to fulfill international audiences’ dreams !

"Féerie", the Moulin Rouge's new show

"Féerie” consists of : a troupe of 100 artists, including the 60 Doriss Girls that were recruited world-wide ; 1000 costumes of feathers, rhinestones and sequins and set up in the most famous Parisian workshops ; sumptuous sets in shimmering colours uniquely designed by Italian artists ; the best outstanding international acts ; and the awaited return of the giant Aquarium, all this performed to original music recorded by 80 musicians and 60 members of the chorus.

"The Moulin Rouge today and yesterday, the Moulin Rouge forever"

The theatre lights go down, the curtain is raised…and the entire troupe appears on stage, under the admiring gaze of the audience who find themselves entering the Garden of the Moulin Rouge to discover the magical atmosphere of the place ! A touch of nostalgia.
From this moment on, the spectators let themselves be enthrolled by the beauty of the Doriss Girls and the Doriss Dancers!

"Sandokan"
What kind of adventures can happen to a pirate whose boat is anchored in Indonesia ? Dreams ? A perfect woman’s love ? …
Once in the land, one meets priestesses, or a Gorgon in her temple surrounded by snakes… one can even attend the Governor’s Ball ! Sandokan has the opportunity to offer his treasures to the lady of his dreams or will we be witnesses to a sacrifice of love ?

"The Circus"
The circus comes to town… with its band of clowns, Siamese twins, pierrots, acrobats, jugglers, weird wild animals and six miniature horses ! Colourful scenes to beautiful music ending with the great parade of the Doriss Girls and Doriss Dancers. "The Moulin Rouge from 1900 to…"
The Moulin Rouge pays a tribute to Parisian women throughout the years : on the 14th of July, for the Liberation of Paris … with Java or Boogie music. Time passes and leaves space for new generations of women, more beautiful and free than ever !

At the highlight of this tribute, the Doriss Girls dance the world famous French Cancan !

Kaguyahime Theater Tickets, Opéra Bastille (Bastille Opera), Paris

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:40:00 GMT

In a dream-like atmosphere, the choreographer accompanies the passage on Earth of a princess from another world.

This artist of pure lines skilfully plays with light and subtly mixes traditional Japanese and Western music to create a fantasy world.

The fluid dance is sometimes languorous and enigmatic, sometimes swept up by the frenetic rhythms of percussion and the rolling of drums, translates moods and emotions.

Jirí Kylián has specially revisited one of his most essential creations for the Paris Opera Ballet and the stage of the Opéra Bastille.

Monets Garden Bike Tour Sightseeing Tickets, Fat Tire Bike Tours, Paris

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:17:00 GMT

An excellent excursion outside of Paris is to Claude Monet's breathtaking gardens in Normandy. His unique house, the quaint villages of Vernon & Giverny and our fabulous bicycle ride along the Seine are a welcome change from the hustle-bustle of Paris. Allow us to make the out-of-town trip an easy and enjoyable one for you.

We'll go by rail through the beautiful wheat & sunflower fields of Normandy to the village of Vernon. There we'll collect our bikes, head to the market for picnic supplies and then to lunch along the river in a beautiful park. Finally we'll pedal down our private path to Monet's gardens where we'll spend the afternoon inside the most gorgeous landscape in Normandy. Monet's Gardens

Imagine stepping into the canvas of your favorite Monet painting. Beautiful flowers, the Japanese Bridge and the famous water lilies await you.

Monet's House

Monet and his family moved here in May 1883 and he lived here until his death in 1926. Visitors may explore the interior of his house and also see his collection of Japanese art.

Monet's Gravesite

Monet died on December 5th, 1926 at the age of 86 and is buried along with his family at the small Giverny church. Monet desired a simple burial and roughly only 50 people attended his service.

Picnic along the Seine

A beautiful park along the Seine with the vieux moulin just off the bank. Relax in the grass or take a seat at a picnic table while you enjoy your meal.

Bike Ride

A leisurely 5km bike path is nestled between the bluffs and the Seine River. We ride from Vernon to Giverny on this path.

Versailles Bike Tour Sightseeing Tickets, Fat Tire Bike Tours, Paris

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:44:00 GMT

Le Chateau de Versailles awaits you in all its grandeur as you return to the time period of the most famous French kings and queens. Allow us to bring you the most famous "house" in the world as few others have experienced it. After meeting at our Paris office, we'll ride our bicycles to the nearest RER station for the quick train trip to Versailles.

Once at Versailles, we'll first visit the village market to buy baguettes, cheese, ham, wine or whatever you desire for our picnic later in the Chateau's gardens. We will then spend most of our day riding through the tree-lined gardens and near the Grand Canal. The average Versailles tourist doesn't realize that they can only visit a small fraction of the gardens on foot. We'll see it all!

Hall of Mirrors

Used by King Louis XIV as the place to welcome important guests (and also for opulent parties). Try to imagine walking the length of the Hall with servants lining both sides and King Louis himself sitting in a chair at the far end. Also the site of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 that officially ended World War I.

Chateau Gardens

The world-famous gardens are alone worth the trip. We spend most of our day in the outer gardens and along the Grand Canal. These are only enjoyed on a bicycle and are virtually impossible to see on foot. Our guests typically enjoy the gardens even more than the Chateau

The Chateau

Located some 20 kilometers southwest of Paris, it was originally the royal hunting lodge. King Louis XIV moved his court officially to Versailles in 1682 and it became the seat of the French government and monarchy. The Chteau housed the royal family until 1789 when Revolutionaries forced them to return to Paris.

Grand & Petit Trianons

Built by Kings Louis XIV and XV respectively, they offer a fantastic view into the original Versailles. Each is located in the exterior gardens, away from the Chateau. Charles de Gaulle had an office in the Grand Trianon after World War II.

Versailles Open Market

Our first stop at Versailles will be at the world-famous market to shop for our picnic supplies. Stock up on fruit, cheese, meats, wine and, of course, pastries. Be sure to bring your appetite and a corkscrew.

Picnic along the Grand Canal

We settle down at the far end of the Grand Canal for the best picnic of your life. Typically everyone buys a litttle too much of something and it becomes a feast for all.

Times:

Daily - Except Monday @ 9am
March and November tour only runs on Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun

Running Time: 8 hrs

Siddharta Theater Tickets, Opéra Bastille (Bastille Opera), Paris

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:20:00 GMT

Choreographer Angelin Preljocaj draws inspiration from the founding theme of Siddharta for the original new work that he is offering the Paris Opera Ballet. He revisits the saga of the one who would become the Awakened One or Buddha, bringing a personal interpretation exploring the themes of new challenges, ordeals and sacrifices in the quest for an absolute. Moving beyond mere narrative, he reveals the torments and mysteries of a long inner journey riddled with pitfalls, uncertainties and doubts. Preljocaj shares his journey with two artists with strong personalities : Bruno Mantovani, the brilliant, young French composer, whose first work this is for the Paris Opera, and Claude Lvque, the visual artist and scenographer, with his powerful ability to dream up new spaces for our time.

La Somnambule Theater Tickets, Opéra Bastille (Bastille Opera), Paris

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 09:16:00 GMT

What a sense of refinement and finesse the 35 year-old Bellini possessed! This time, far from royal quarrels and feuds between famous historical characters, he finds his heroine in a small Swiss village. The modest and charming Amina is in fact a sleepwalker who, escaping from her bedroom, becomes another person as she wanders through the night. A score written in daydream where melody seems to be suspended in time and the heroine's very soul rises to the surface, and where instruments take on transparent water-colour tones. This elegiac universe is home to one of the most beautiful arias of the entire repertoire, Ah, non credea mirarti, a miracle of moonlit poetry. At the same time, Bellini portrays the cruellest of worlds our own where it is more than difficult for fragility and gentleness to make a place for themselves.

Performance Times

*Premiere Jan 25th : 7.30pm
