Live performance has been one of the industries hardest hit by the health crisis, but despite the challenges, artists and production teams are back with a vengeance, ready to captivate their audiences. Offering tickets to a show is not only offering an experience, but also supporting an industry that needs all our love.
2024 will see a plethora of events. From musicals and plays to solo performances and comedy, there's something for everyone. And if you've got a film buff in your life, ciné-concerts offer a unique fusion of cinema and live music.

But why choose a show as a Christmas present? Because it's not just an object. It's an experience. An ephemeral moment, but one that will be remembered forever. In an age where everything is instantaneous, giving a moment to experience is perhaps the most precious gift of all.
What's more, by choosing this type of gift, you're supporting culture. An industry which, despite the challenges it faces, has persisted, innovated and continues to enchant its audiences. It's not just a question of buying a ticket, but of participating in the rebirth of a vibrant artistic world.
Before making your choice, we recommend that you consult the various cultural websites and magazines to keep abreast of the latest announcements. The 2025 cultural season is still young, and there are many gems waiting to be discovered.
