The application Opéra national de Paris has been released and made available on app stores for the first time in March 2016.

 

The objectives

 

It brought a bunch of new features, while filling some criteria. The app had to :

  • broaden Opéra national de Paris’ presence on mobile devices,
  • conform itself to the new visual identity, which had been first introduced on web and printed supports,
  • introduce new features and make the users’ processes easier,
  • get closer to younger audiences.

 

Constantly improved, the new application, developed by Tapptic, is filled with new functionalities. Its design has been completely rethought, while all the contents are customisable. Tickets are easily accessible, popping up on the main page the day of a show the user will attend to. On top of that, a whole new buying process has been developed, making the journey easier and simpler.

The figures tend to show that the app is successful: in a year, the number of users on both iOS and Android platforms has tripled, 57% of the in-app purchases are coming from first-buyers, and the share of tickets bought through the app are constantly increasing.
