Inner Landscapes continues at Palais Garnier through 7 November
The Paris Opera lists Inner Landscapes as a three-part ballet evening created by Jean-Christophe Maillot, William Forsythe and Aszure Barton. The programme remains at Palais Garnier until 7 November 2026, placing performances on several dates inside the current travel window.
The programme brings together Maillot’s Vers un pays sage, Forsythe’s Rearray and Barton’s Busk. The Paris Opera describes two of the works as new additions to the company’s repertoire, while the full programme is performed by the Paris Opera Ballet.
The official calendar includes performances on 31 October and from 2 to 7 November 2026. The programme page records the venue and dates together in the official ballet programme.
Three choreographers meet in a nineteenth-century theatre
Inner Landscapes connects contemporary choreography with a building designed for opera and ballet. Maillot’s Vers un pays sage dates from 1995, Barton’s Busk from 2009 and Forsythe’s Rearray from 2011, giving the evening a programme history that reaches beyond its 2026 performances.
The theatre was designed by architect Charles Garnier and inaugurated on 5 January 1875. Its public areas include the Grand Staircase, the Grand Foyer, the Avant-Foyer, the Moon and Sun Salons, and the Opera Library-Museum.
The auditorium has an Italian-style layout and a ceiling painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. The venue has been listed as a historical monument since 1923, a status that places the autumn ballet within a protected architectural setting.
The Paris Opera’s Palais Garnier history links the building’s 1875 opening with its architect, public spaces and monument status.
