Sacred Airs, from Operas to Sainte-Chapelle offers a unique musical journey where the spiritual intensity of sacred music meets the expressive beauty of operatic arias. Performed in the sublime setting of Sainte-Chapelle, this concert brings together some of the most moving pages from the sacred repertoire, inspired by opera and liturgical tradition alike. Voices rise beneath the stained-glass windows, creating an atmosphere of contemplation, emotion, and transcendence. From tender prayers to powerful invocations, each aria reveals a deep connection between faith, music, and human expression. This program invites the audience to experience sacred music not only as devotion, but also as dramatic art, where vocal brilliance and spiritual depth unite in one unforgettable evening.

Program and cast

Sainte Chapelle Paris Tickets

he Sainte-Chapelle (Holy Chapel) is a royal medieval Gothic chapel, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France.

Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on 26 April 1248,[1] the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Its erection was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.

Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th-century stained glass anywhere in the world.
