Confluence Spectacles

Confluence Spectacles is a modern theatre and performance venue in Avignon, developed within the former temporary opera building and adapted as a permanent home for a wide range of live productions. The flexible auditorium accommodates approximately 1,050 guests in a fully seated configuration, including accessible spaces, and up to around 1,650 people in a combined seated and standing layout. Its large stage can host theatre productions, concerts, comedy, musicals, dance and other forms of live entertainment.

The interior is designed to adapt to different performance formats, with professional stage, sound and lighting infrastructure and clear audience sightlines towards the stage. Visitors can also use the bar and snack area with a terrace, providing a convenient place to spend time before or after a performance. The combination of variable capacity and a spacious stage allows Confluence Spectacles to accommodate both more intimate shows and larger-scale productions.

The venue is located at Place de l'Europe, Avignon, France, directly opposite Avignon TGV railway station, with the entrance only a few minutes away on foot. Free parking for spectators is available beside the venue, while the Confluence bus stop is also located nearby.

Avignon, a historic city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region on the banks of the Rhône, is one of the most distinctive centres of culture, entertainment and events in southern France. Medieval walls, historic squares, theatres and a variety of event spaces create an impressive backdrop for concerts, stage performances, festivals and other public events. The compact city centre makes it easy to combine attending an event with restaurants, cafés and accommodation, giving Avignon a lively atmosphere without the scale of a major metropolis.

Getting around the city relies on the Orizo network, which includes the T1 tram, Chron'hop lines, city buses and transport within the historic centre. Gare d'Avignon Centre is located immediately beside the historic centre, while Gare d'Avignon TGV lies south of the city centre and is connected with the main central station by TER trains. For arrivals by air, the most important gateway is Marseille Provence Airport, the nearest major airport with scheduled international services. The combination of rail and local public transport makes it easy to continue towards the city's arenas, cultural venues and sports facilities.

Before or after an event, it is worth exploring the Palais des Papes, walking across Place de l'Horloge and visiting Pont Saint-Bénézet, the famous historic bridge over the Rhône. The old town within the walls, known as intra-muros, is filled with narrow streets, squares and historic buildings, while Rocher des Doms offers views towards the river and the surrounding landscape. A walk along the Rhône or through the preserved city walls is an easy way to turn a visit to an event into an opportunity to discover one of Provence's most remarkable historic cities.
