  One of the best concerts we have seen over the years in Paris

• Alfred S, Germany

  Die Musiker waren gut. Es ist o.k., dass sie berücksichtigen, dass ein Teil des Publikums kein klassisches Konzertpublikum ist, sondern vermutlich (auch) wegen der wunderschönen Atmosphäre der Sainte Chapelle gekommen ist. Allerdings ist zu fragen, ob man deshalb wirklich bewährte traditionelle Gepflogenheiten des Konzertbetriebs über Bord werfen muss. Muss man als Musiker wirklich nach fast jedem Satz den Applaus mehr oder weniger herausfordern? Und muss man z.B. Pachelbels Kanon noch einmal in den Schluss des Vivaldikonzerts einbauen? Mir erschien es sinnvoll, die Reihenfolge der ersten beiden Musikstücke zu verändern. Ich frage mich aber, kann man auf eine solche Idee nicht schon bei der Programmgestaltung kommen? Zum Organisatorischen: Wenn man die Besucher drängt, unbedingt schon eine Stunde vor Konzertbeginn am Eingang anwesend zu sein, sollte man den Eingang auch zu dieser Zeit öffnen und nicht erst deutlich später. Sehr störend war es, dass auch nach Konzertbeginn noch mehrfach verspätete (und wenig rücksichtsvolle) Besucher hereingelassen wurden. Insgesamt war es aber ein sehr schönes Erlebnis.

• Barbara K, USA

  Oct 2019

  Very nice event. I loved being in La Sainte Chapelle and the music was perfect. The only drawback was the long line and security issues. I understand why these occur due to the Ministry of Justice Buildings being involved, but it was nonetheless a difficulty for attendees.

  The setting and concert performance were truly excellent. The beautiful chapel and the room acoustics were remarkable. The only negative was the room temperature which was very warm inside on a relatively mild day. Electric fans should be used

• Sandra Cecilia G, México

  Excellent concert! Everything was beautiful! We enjoyed every minute of it! The only thing was that the weather was very hot and the sainte chapelle doesn’t have ventilation.

• catherine b, USA

  Jun 2019

  Definitely a must do event in Paris! I have been three times and the music and ambience never fails to overwhelm me. Love this venue!!

• Colette J, USA

  Jun 2019

  I thought the ambiance, location and concert were incredible. We were very sensitive to the location and the history of the Ste. Chapelle but having a concert in it made it all more special. I wish we had been given a program instead of having to purchase it. A simple piece of paper would have been acceptable just to know the names of the singer, orchestra and the contents of the program.

• Suzanne W, Australia

  Jun 2019

  The was a beautiful experience. It was so enjoyable because the music was well known, expertly played and sung with the amazing acoustics of St Chapelle. And, of course, being surrounded by the beauty of st Chapelle‐ unforgettable!!!

  Fabulous.

• Marjorie D, USA

  May 2019

  The opera singer was magnificent in voice and theatrical performance. Tres jolie aussi. The strings and harpsichordist played seemlessly. The setting was divine. When returning to Paris we would attend another concert. Gratefully, Loren Lopata and Marjorie Du Berchin.

• Karina V, USA

  May 2019

  Great experience to listen to Vivaldi’s classics in Saints Chapelle. Just beautiful!

• CATHARINE V, USA

  May 2019

  Music was lovely, marred only inconsiderate people filming and taking photographs DURING the performance. Please tell people this is not allowed. It only takes a few inconsiderate people to ruin the experience.

• Maxime A, France

  May 2019

  L'accoustique dans la Sainte‐Chapelle est meilleure que je ne le pensais. Pour ma part, les solos de violon étaient trop courts et il y avait un peu trop de partie chantée.

• Edgar U, USA

  May 2019

  Amazing, electric, they inspired me to want to run home and practice the instrument I'm currently learning to play!

• Susan A, USA

  May 2019

  I was in Paris from the States with my mom, sister, and aunt and saw this recommendation on Rick Steve’s community bulletin board. The string quartet was incredibly talented. The music was incredible and the setting could not have been more perfect. The VIP seats were a perfect way to experience classical music in a truly beautiful setting. Follow the recommendation to get there early. I would go again if I ever get back to Paris—it was that magnificent.

• Susan M, USA

  May 2019

• Mizuno Y, 日本

  May 2019

  入り口で空港並みのセキュリティーを受けた後、サントシャペル教会に入れました。 美しいステンドグラスに囲まれながらの、オーケストラ(4名のカルテット)と歌声に胸が震えるような感動を覚えました。記憶に残る思い出が作れたので予約していて、本当に良かったです

• Rebecca L, USA

  Mar 2019

  バイオリンの音色が流れた瞬間、涙が止まりませんでした。ステンドグラスが光を抑えた照明に包まれ天国にいるようでした。何と美しい教会なのでしょうか。高い天井に音色が輝き吸い込まれ夢のようなひとときでした。こんな経験は初めてです。バッハの音楽の素晴らしさを改めて実感しました。帰りに会場で指揮者の方と握手しCDを買いました。我が家ではあの感動は味わえないかもしれませんが、聞くたびにあの瞬間が蘇ることでしょう。旅の一番の思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

  The booking was efficient and the program beautiful and intimate. Important to book ahead as it is sold out by the time you would arrive and stand in line. Nice size and directional guides were very helpful. I had been to St Chappelle before but the addition of the beautiful music with the light making the windows glow was magical.

  陽が沈み始める最高の時間帯に、美しいステンドグラスに囲まれた中で奏でるバイオリンの音色に感動しました。家族４人で訪れたパリでの良い想い出となり嬉しく思います。また、時間指定の入場特権が付いたチケットだと思えば安価で付加価値が高いと思います。by KAZ‐SHINWA

  サント・シャペルの入り口は閉まっており、他の入り口から入るので注意が必要です（人の列があるので何となくわかると思います）。　19時からのコンサートですが、季節によってはこの時間帯は既に暗くなりステンドグラスが楽しめないこともあると思いますので、時間があれば日中に見学しておいた方がいいかもしれません。（日が長い季節であれば問題ないと思います）。2012年秋の段階ではステンドグラスの半面が修復中でした。教会の修復は2014年まで予定されているそうです。
