Stade de France has one of the biggest stages in Europe; its capacity in concert mode is close to 100,000 places. Imagine 100,000 people buzzing in front of the same show. Thus, Stade de France is the place where the great classics are performed again: Verdi's Requiem in 2002; Carmen in 2003; Turandot in 2005; Nabucco in 2008; and of course, Aida in 2002 and 2010.
