Spatialised Concerts

The abbey church of Sainte-Marie hosts the major concerts of the Festival de Saintes. Spatialised Concerts are a wonderful opportunity to relive those moments.
Equipped with headphones and a digital device, you will enter the Romanesque church and access the gallery as a privileged guest. The long nave, supported by powerful pillars, lies open to your gaze. In this silent, spiritual structure, the concert can begin. 3D sound envelopes body and mind, plunging you into the very heart of the orchestra.
In practice: Concerts last 40 to 50 mins.
