Biography
Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris, a French symphonic orchestra, was founded in 1672 by Jean-Baptiste Lully as part of the Académie royale de musique. Initially consisting of 14 musicians, it performed operas in French and focused on tragédie lyrique. By the late 18th century, the orchestra grew significantly and played multiple premieres per season. In 1774, Christoph Willibald Gluck was invited by Queen Marie Antoinette to direct the Opéra de Paris, implementing reforms that modernized the institution. The orchestra moved into the Palais Garnier in 1870 and continued to evolve with the changing musical landscape, performing works by Debussy, Ravel, and Stravinsky.
