It was founded in 1985 by Oliver Desbordes, who remains its director, while also undertaking stage direction of many productions. In 1998-99, Opéra Éclaté was recognised by the Ministère de la Culture as a ‘Compagnie nationale de Théâtre Lyrique et Musical’.
Opéra Éclaté performs in a wide range of venues and aims particularly to engage in outreach toward those who do not normally go to opera.[1]

The 2009 season will be revivals of Le roi Carotte and Berlin Années 20 with La flûte enchantée.[3]
