2024 China Tour

Invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China, we officially launched the first China tour of Chateau de Versailles to open the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, as well as the China–France Year of Culture and Tourism.

With the assistance and support of the French Embassy and Consulates in China, the ensemble gave opening performances for the China–France Year of Culture events in each host city. This project marked the largest number of cities ever covered in a single tour by a Western Baroque ensemble in China. It was also the first time a Baroque orchestra performed at the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the first orchestra in the world to give a performance for pandas at the Chengdu Giant Panda Base.

2025 China Tour

In June 2025, in response to strong demands from Chinese audiences, the Orchestra of the Royal Opera of the Palace of Versailles will return to China for another tour, featuring three leading countertenors — Samuel Marino, Filippo Mineccia, and China’s first countertenor, Meili Li — in a spectacular celebration of Baroque music. This also marks the first visit to China for the Male Soprano Samuel Marino and the Countertenor Filippo Mineccia, once again igniting a nationwide “Versailles Baroque” wave across the country.
