OUR AMBITION

Our Group is owned by its managers: its capital is 100% owned by several of them. Having always been independent and profitable, we have been master of our destiny from the beginning. There is no race to raise funds or financing to carry out our projects. Investments are self-financed through the Group's profitability.

To support this ambition and in order to increase our notoriety amongst the general public, we have committed ourselves to several partnerships.

In 2023, we became a major partner of the Aix-en-Provence Festival for three years, one of the oldest opera and lyric music festivals in the world. Between innovative proposals and the desire for excellence, the festival revisits the repertoire and approaches with audacity and participates in changing the way people look at the lyric art.

Finally, we have chosen to support other commitments, notably in terms of Social and Environmental Responsibility. We have developed a partnership with the association "Sport dans la Ville", which sets up and manages sports centers in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, with the idea that sport and the values it conveys can contribute to better integration of local youth. This vision is in line with our values of performance, accessibility and education.
