Jazz festival in France another occasion for coming
LYON : Festival de Fourvière 1 JUNE TO 31 JULY 2018
Nuits de Fourvière is devoted to the performing arts and since 1946 has worked to make the disciplines coexist: theater, music, dance, opera, circus, cinema, etc. Every summer, in June and July, the festival presents nearly 60 performances in the Gallo-Roman theaters of Fourvière for more than 130,000 spectators. If multidisciplinarity is a criterion, it is in no way an absolute rule. The festival guarantees its openness and modernity while avoiding to standardize or thematize. Nuits de Fourvière also wants to be a festival of creation by producing certain shows, inviting artists and artisans who make them. Producing high-quality works for the greatest number, retaining internationally renowned artists, developing new media artists with little presence, and new or unknown artists in France are among the requirements of the artistic line of the festival.
