The Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal was founded in 2019 for The Ghosts of Versailles by John Corigliano. Comprising musicians who regularly work with leading conductors, the Orchestra champions a wide repertoire ranging from baroque to classical to romantic. Due to the history of the place whose name it bears, the core repertoire consist of music from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Several conductors lead the Orchestra throughout the seasons, each bringing their own musical vision depending on the programme, including Gaétan Jarry, Stefan Plewniak, Victor Jacob, Théotime Langlois de Swarte, as well as Andrés Gambetta and Justin Taylor.

The Orchestra, with its varying formations, adapts to the requirements of the different projects of the Royal Opera and Château de Versailles Spectacles. From chamber music to opera and symphonic concerts, the Orchestra adapts its various formations to deliver the best musical cohesion for each genre. Its repertoire notably includes Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, works by Porpora, Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s violin concertos and St John Passion, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Zingarelli’s Romeo and Juliet, Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio, Don Giovanni and Requiem, Donizetti’s La Fille du régiment, and Bizet’s Carmen…

For the 2025-26 season, the Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal takes centre stage at its home venue, with over twenty-five productions and more than fifty performances, not including tours in France and abroad.
