Get ready to discover Saint-Eustache church as you've never seen it before! During the month of May, "Luminiscence" invites you to enjoy new musical experiences. On the program? The latest performances of the Concerts Immersifs and a brand-new version of the show: "Choir & Organ".

For the first time, a show combines immersive theater, 360-degree video mapping, 3D spatialized music and lighting effects in one of the capital's most beautiful monuments. The projections magnify the Saint-Eustache church, finely revealing every architectural detail, from its imposing base to the top of its vaults rising to over 30 meters.

Anchored since the 16th century in the belly of Paris, in the heart of the historic Les Halles district, this architectural marvel rivals Notre-Dame de Paris for sheer size. Its unusual architecture, the result of a fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, stands before you in all its splendor, bearing witness to eight centuries of history and innovation.

Relive the legend of Saint-Eustache with a two-part show!

With the immersive theater tour, meet the emblematic figures whose destinies have marked the history of the church: playwright Molière, composer Lully and the Duchesse d'Orléans.

Then take a seat in the nave and watch a dazzling visual show! Let yourself be transported by the voice of the guardian spirit of these sacred places for 800 years. Experience a timeless journey. Immerse yourself in a 360-degree experience, where video, sound and light unite to unveil the secrets of the nave, vaults and choir, revealing the hidden treasures of this architectural gem up to 30 meters high.

The Luminiscence immersive concert series ends on May 18!

This exceptional experience is enhanced by the presence of a professional choir of 18 singers and an ensemble of 13 talented musicians , including organ, harp, brass quintet, string quartet and percussion. They perform in the choir of Saint-Eustache, exploiting the unique acoustics of this sacred space, supported by a spatialized sound system. As the building comes alive and lights up, their performance offers a captivating visual and aural metamorphosis. Under the direction of conductor Bertrand Causse, they perform a repertoire of classical and sacred music rearranged for the occasion.

And from May 25, don't miss the new musical version: Choir and Organ!

In this new version, entitled "Musique Live: Chœur & Orgue", the celestial songs of a choir merge with the power of the great organ to accompany the Luminiscence orchestra recorded in the famous Guillaume Tell studio (brass quintet, string quartet, harp and percussion).

Immerse yourself in a musical journey through time, from the Middle Ages to the Baroque and the Renaissance, with rearranged compositions of works by great masters such as Vivaldi, Bach, Fauré, Handel and Lully.

Let yourself be transported by the harmonies of a group of over 20 choristers, accompanied by the organists of Saint-Eustache: Thomas Ospital, Baptiste-Florian Marle-Ouvrard and Francois Olivier. Together, they will reveal the rich acoustics of one of France's most beautiful churches."
