Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon

**Orchestre de l'Opéra de Lyon**

Hailing from France’s vibrant cultural hub, the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Lyon has been the musical heartbeat of the Opéra National de Lyon since its founding in 1983. Known for its versatility, the orchestra seamlessly shifts between opera, ballet, and symphonic repertoire, embracing everything from Baroque gems to modern works. Recent releases like *Busoni: Arlecchino & Turandot* and *Bellini: La sonnambula* showcase their knack for breathing fresh life into both classic and lesser-known operas, while collaborations with maestros like John Eliot Gardiner (see *Gardiner conducts Iphigénie en Aulide*) highlight their precision and dramatic flair. Beyond the pit, they’ve carved out a niche for inventive projects, blending orchestral rigor with playful experimentation—check out *Milhaud: Un petit peu d’exercice* for a taste of their quirky side. Whether live or on record, these musicians prove that opera orchestras can be as dynamic and adventurous as the art they serve.
