Mozart Mass comes to the Royal Chapel on 3 November
The programme lists Mozart: Mass in C Minor as a concert on Tuesday 3 November 2026. The official calendar places it in the Royal Chapel and gives a start time of 8pm.
The performance is part of the 2026-2027 season, which includes concerts, operas, plays and ballets in the Royal Opera and Royal Chapel. The season programme also lists further November performances, including Lalande and Charpentier on 12 November, Campra on 17 November and Allegri on 18 November.
The concert listing describes Mozart’s Mass in C Minor as the central work and names a group of soloists including Sabine Devieilhe. The Royal Chapel concert listing gives the date, venue and programme details.
The Royal Chapel places Mozart within Versailles history
The Royal Chapel is one of the named historic spaces within the Palace estate. Its use for a Mozart concert connects the current musical programme with the building’s long role as a setting for court ceremonies and performance.
The Palace grew from Louis XIII’s hunting pavilion. Louis XIV transformed and extended it, later installing the Court and government at Versailles in 1682. Major construction continued through the reigns of succeeding kings before the French Revolution ended its role as a royal residence.
Today, the Palace contains 2,300 rooms across 63,154 square metres. It became the Museum of the History of France in 1837, and the Estate of Versailles has been listed as a World Heritage site since 1979. These facts give the November concert a specific setting: a contemporary performance in a building shaped by royal expansion and later museum use. The Palace history page records the site’s World Heritage status, rooms and museum history.
