The 'French Verona,' a magnificent Roman amphitheatre which seats an audience of some 13,000 is admired by many as a more intimate space than its big brother across the Italian border. The festival presents a very limited number of performances featuring star singers ably supported by the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse.

This year's programme features Les contes d'Hoffmann (Offenbach) conducted by Michel Plasson with Natalie Dessay, Beatrice Uria-Monzon, Leontina Vaduva, Marcus Haddock and Jose van Dam and Tosca conducted by Gary Bertini with Nelly Miriciou, Vladimir Galouzine, and Alain Fondary. Orange is well located in the centre of Provence, a good base for exploring the red-roofed villages separated by lavender fields and scattered with Roman remains as well as such facinating towns as Avignon, Arles and the National Park of the Camargues.
