The City of Saint-Germain-en-Laye continues its policy of opening up culture to as many people as possible.
In this context, she decided to join the Saint-Germain culture association, the aim of which is to facilitate access.
The structure wishes to promote activities in the musical, lyrical, dramatic, choreographic, cinematographic, performing arts and plastic arts fields.
Free or low-cost tickets
“It basically does this in two ways. The first is to organize cultural events that will be made available to the public free of charge. It can be a concert, an exhibition … or support actions, in particular, by purchasing tickets for cultural operations offered by the theater, La Clef concerts, Open Air Opera, etc. and to distribute these tickets free of charge or at extremely preferential prices to audiences in our city who do not come spontaneously or easily to these events. “
According to the elected, this membership should represent only a few tens of euros per year for the City.
To ensure the funding of the missions it assigns itself, Saint-Germain culture, a non-profit association, relies mainly on the collection of donations and subsidies.
The example of an open-air opera house
This principle of redistributing places is a well-established practice in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. For example, during the very first visit of the Opéra en Plein Air association for two performances of Carmen from Bizet, the City had purchased 63 places in category 2 and 260 places in category 3 for a total amount of € 12,242.
323 tickets, of which 256 had been redistributed to various associations of the municipality such as La Soucoupe, Agasec, Habitat et Humanisme, the local Mission, the Little Brothers of the Poor, Saint-Vincent, Mica, the Bread Tree or even the Secours Catholic.
