A host of artists unite at the Opéra-Comique for the very first edition of the Fier Gala A charity evening sponsored by artists Woodkid and Raya Martigny

This Friday, June 12, the prestigious Théâtre National de l’Opéra-Comique will open its golden doors to the very first edition of the Fier Gala. More than just a social gathering, this hybrid event blending fashion and music stands above all as a strong political statement for the defense and affirmation of LGBTQIA+ rights. Sponsored by model and actress Raya Martigny and musician Woodkid, the evening will feature around fifteen artists, activists, and charity representatives walking a red carpet that already promises to be memorable.

A prestigious stage for a good cause

For this inaugural edition, the gala has adopted the highly symbolic theme of "La Vie en Rose" and will bring together an exceptional lineup of talent. The stage will come alive with performances from major figures of the contemporary scene, including Eddy de Pretto, Bilal Hassani, Lucky Love, and Pomme.

"More than just an evening, this is a strategic charity event whose mission is to raise funds for associations fighting daily for the rights and dignity of LGBTQIA+ people," the organizers emphasize. This wave of solidarity is crucial in the current climate: "It is a cry of distress that we are transforming into strength, by honoring our collective power. Together, we will find solutions to continue protecting the rights and existence of LGBTQIA+ people."

100% of proceeds donated

The commitment of the Fier Gala translates into concrete action: the entirety of the box office proceeds will be donated to organizations on the front lines of social struggle and support.

For this edition, the funds raised will directly back the work of three major associations: Le Refuge, which supports young LGBTQIA+ people rejected by their families; L'Autre Cercle, a leading advocate for inclusion in the professional world; and Les Audacieuses & Les Audacieux, which works toward the well-being and against the isolation of LGBTQIA+ seniors.

As a testament to this immense wave of solidarity and public enthusiasm, the event is already completely sold out, with all tickets snapped up.
