Formed in 1982, Opéra de Nuit is a French coldwave band hailing from southeastern France, with members from Valréas and the Drôme department. As self-taught musicians, they carved a niche in the independent music scene of the early '80s, performing extensively across France in cities like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. Their discography includes the EPs "Amour Noir" (1984) and "Sourire de l'Ombre" (1986), culminating in their self-titled LP in 1988. In 2005, their track "Ami! Amant!" was featured on the compilation "Transmission, 81-89: The French-Cold wave," highlighting their influence in the genre.
