Mozart's Magic Flute at Le Touquet – Musica Nigella 2026
On 22 October 2026
On 22 October 2026, the Salle Ravel at Le Touquet's Palais des Congrès hosts a landmark production of Mozart's Magic Flute, conducted by Takénori Némoto with seven top soloists. A rare evening of world-class opera, a short stroll from Hippotel.

A night of Mozart on the Opal Coast
For its 7th autumn edition, the Musica Nigella Festival brings one of opera's greatest masterpieces to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage: Mozart's The Magic Flute, staged in a brand-new French-language production directed by Renaud Boutin. Wit, poetry and mystery collide in a show designed to delight first-timers and seasoned opera-goers alike.
World-class cast, intimate setting
Conductor Takénori Némoto leads seven distinguished soloists, a period-informed Mozart orchestra and a choral ensemble of the highest calibre. Renaud Boutin's fresh French translation strips away any barrier for those who have never attended an opera — while the musical ambition remains fully intact. Over seven editions, Musica Nigella has grown into one of the most respected cultural fixtures on the northern French coast, drawing audiences of over 4,000 each season from well beyond the local region.
An autumn evening at the Salle Ravel is something of a tradition for lovers of the genre — intimate enough to feel the singers' presence, grand enough to do justice to Mozart's score.
Making the most of it from Hippotel
The Palais des Congrès is just a short walk from Hippotel — no car park queues, no taxi to book. Why not turn the concert into a proper autumn weekend on the Opal Coast?
- Our rooms and apartments are perfectly suited for a one- or two-night stay around the performance, with options for couples, families and small groups.
- Start the morning after in style with our breakfast spread, then head out to the beach or the pine forest before heading home.
- Not sure what else to do in Le Touquet? Our activities page covers golf, sand yachting, tennis and much more — the resort has plenty to offer beyond the concert hall.
October in Le Touquet is one of the season's best-kept secrets: the crowds have thinned, the light over the Channel is extraordinary, and the town's restaurants are at their most welcoming.
