Paris website calendar with classical concerts & dance events

I know when I get to Paris I can buy a small paper with these event listings, but I want some information now for our visit next month because I'd like to reserve some tickets now. Is there a website that lists all sorts of classical concerts, both standard ensembles and the types of concerts that are in churches and/or recitals? I am also interested in ballet and want a good website for that. I guess I am asking if there is one master website that will do it all or if I have to do a lot of individual searching on each venue's website. Thank you.

All this information is on the "Paris Superthread".

It was in the superthread, that's true. There have been several threads listing all these, as I compiled a whole bunch of them.

Briefly, it used to be the events section of the Paris Tourist Office website was the best comprehensive site, but since they have revamped it, it is not nearly as useful as before IMO. You should still check it, though. www.parisinfo.com

Aside from that and the prior thread (which also could be found simply by putting paris classical music sites in the box), the definitive site for ballets would always be the ballet's own website -- www.operadeparis.fr

Could you please help me with www.whatsonwhen.com? I cannot get it to narrow the search down to Paris. Keep getting 400+ results! Which search screen do you use to find the concerts? Thanks.

About whatsonwhen.com, to narrow results to Paris, select Paris from the drop down menu on the right, where it says to choose ciy. This is where you get to when you do that:

http://www.whatsonwhen.com/pages/paris.jml

From there, choose the month you're interested in. I selected May arbitrarily and got 82 listings. You can narrow your choice by selecting ongoing or events, which I would assume would include concerts.
