Seeking out new audiences and fresh talent, the Paris Opera is launching a three-year outreach programme in French Guiana that aims to make it easier for people in the overseas department to pursue careers in opera and ballet.
"Geographic distance must not be an insurmountable obstacle to see performances, or to imagine embarking on a career as a dancer, opera signer or musician," says Alexander Neef, director of the company based at the historic Palais Garnier in Paris.
