Concert halls Paris

This centenary room has undergone countless transformations. In 1893 is open here a large living room that is quickly transformed into theatre. It really was born in 1898, but only took its current name in 1912. Work is ongoing. Sacha Guitry made her debut at the Mathurins theatre in 1905 with Nono. He remains faithful to this room for fifteen years. Georges and Ludmilla Pitoëff then printed their mark in the history of the Mathurins where they climbed pieces of George-Bernard Shaw, Luigi Pirandello, Jean Anouilh, among others. In 1953 the theatre is run by Rika Radifé alias Radifé Behar. Pirandello, John Osborne, Marguerite Duras, Camus, Sartre, Anouilh are some of the authors here until 1981. The directions that follow continue the path mapped out by their predecessors. Some names that then appeared on the theatre posters: Milan Kundera, Vaclav Havel, Jean-Claude Brisville, Jean-Pierre Bacri - authors - Georges Wilson, Stefan Meldegg - directors-in-stage - Daniel Gélin, Patrick Chesnais - actors… Two memorable shows among so many: The Woman sitting, from Copi with Marilu Marini, staged by Alfredo Arias, and Les Palmes by Jean-Noël Fenwick, Jean-Noël Fenwick. Then director of the Mathurins, Gérard Caillaux aménager a new-seat room with a fireplace. Today, this theatre is led by the trio Engelberg, Colla and Setbon.

This cultural area, consisting of a theatre and a gallery, has been installed since 1977 in a residence dating back to 1602. It was a place of habitation, commerce and deposit. A printer was finally established there. The team of L'Raging, a satirical newspaper in May 1968, worked there. The site then underwent a restoration in the 1970 s. Activities are shared on three levels, which are rented for all kinds of events. Situated in vaulted cellars, the Théâtre theatre welcomes its public in two rooms with a capacity of and seats. He features theatrical shows and one man shows.

There was a skating rink where since 1891 this hall has been named New theatre. The actor and director Lugné-Poë, the future founder of the theatre of the Works, is the founder. He defends Scandinavian authors like Ibsen and Strindberg, as well as Jarry, including Ubu King and here created with San Gémier in the title role in 1896. The actress Réjane bought the room in 1906 and gave her his name. She creates here Mrs. Sans-Gêne, from Victorian Sardou. It is when Léon Volterra resumes the place in 1918 that the current name is assigned to him. Marius and Fanny, by Marcel Pagnol, with Raimu, Orane Demazis and Pierre Fresnay, were triumphs in 1929 and 1931, respectively. Another success: Tovaritch, from Jacques Deval with Elvire Popesco. In 1955, this famous actress will take over from Marcel Karssenty and Pierre Dux who have been running the hall since 1948. Some memorable pieces: Tea and sympathy, with Ingrid Bergman, Pity it is a p…, with Romy Schneider and Alain Delon… During this period, a costume shop is transformed into a modern theatre, which finally takes the name of Petit théâtre in Paris. Alain Leseleuc in 1965 and Robert Hossein in 1975 are new directors. From 1990, the stars are almost on the scene of this place: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michel Sardou, Valérie Lemercier, Guy Bedos, Alain Delon, Robert Hossein, Gérard Depardieu, Bernard Tapie, Michel Leeb, Jean Piat…

The theatre, built in 1876, has 530 seats divided into a parterre, a row of boxes and a gallery. It specialized in historical frescoes and melodramas before being closed in 1952. Peter Brook and Micheline Rozan moved here in 1974, leaving the theatre its bare appearance. In addition to Brook's always surprising shows, jazz and chanson have also found their place here: a vast and beautiful program.

The theatre of three hundred and sixty squares was created in 1943 by two actors, Georges Herbert and Paquita Claude. It's launched when in 1948, Robert Dhéry set up Les Branquignols, a crazy show mixing the insane humour of the Marx Brothers with a typically French drolatique spirit. Coming from the théâtre de la Death, Georges Vitaly took the direction of the room in 1954. Until 1982 he defended his contemporary authors, Jacques Audiberti in the lead. Stephan Meldegg then continues to serve the creators of his time in this theatre. Two notable pieces among others: What Fox, James Saunders, sees as being staged by Laurent Terzieff and Kitchen and Dependencies, Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri. Have played here in recent years: Rufus, Francis Perrin, Niels Arestrup, Philippe Clay, Philippe Laudenbach, Jean-Jacques Vanier… In 2007, Marguerite Gourgue succeeded Stephan Meldegg.

The company of Elan, led by Jean-Luc Jeener, created this theatre in 1997, where it defends young authors and presents thematic cycles: Shakespeare, Molière, Don Juan… Before, the room had already had a rich destiny. In the 1930 s, it's a cabaret. At the Liberation, it takes the name Club des Five. The five in question are elders of the second armoured division of which Lucien Roup, the coach of boxer Marcel Cerdan, one of the lovers of Edith Piaf. She sang regularly in this place, as well as Yves Montand, a protected future of the great lady. Among the regulars are Gabin, Meat or Prévert. In 1954, the place was transformed into cinema. The return to music took place in 1991. The room then qualifies as Northwest Passage. It walks many artists, all styles, including many innovators. This time left very beautiful memories, although it was brief. The company of Elan has set up two rooms to which the names of the troupe of the company have been assigned prematurely. The big is called Laborey, the little Economides.

A whole complex called Apollo is located on this street, famous for its nightlife. Here you'll find no fewer than 4 venues, all of which offer stand-up and comedy club programming. The largest venue, with 360 seats, has seen some of the biggest names in comedy come and go, and the artists here are generally of an excellent standard. Every night, each venue offers its own show: a veritable anthill. Now you know what you have to do if you want to discover the talents of tomorrow!

Opened in 2006, Grande Comedie was quickly pointed out at the Le Clan room of divorced and the show Omar and Fred. Since it can do so that you can not withdraw the right to bears its name! There are two rooms - four hundred seats and hundred seats - in this theatre related to the palace and Comédie République. Musicals are also honoured, to the delight of children. Aladdin, Blanche-Neige and the great figures of our childhood regularly come to offer a recital for 4-12 years. A programme!

After years of neglect, the site was finally restored to its former splendor a few years ago. In 2007, the owners, including the Vardar brothers, undertook major renovations, bearing in mind that Le Palace is a listed building. Since then, one show follows another, and the venue is always packed. The program is mainly comedy-oriented, but there are also some unique shows, such as the immersive one based on the work of Michel Polnareff.

L'Etoile du Nord offers theater and dance performances, as well as a program of music, dance and theater for young audiences. It is resolutely oriented towards contemporary creation, but also towards young audiences. Formerly the Théâtre Paris-Nord, the venue opened for a time in the 1970s and was taken over a decade later under the name Dix-Huit Théâtre. Finally, in 1997, the venue was renamed L'Etoile du Nord. It seats two hundred. Contemporary dance and theater workshops are held here.

The top in which we can attend shows since 2005 is a former ballroom, which once turned from village to village in eastern France. It is made of wood skated over time and is covered with windows. The programming of the Grand parquet makes the most of the forms of theatre, music, tales and dances from all over the world. The young public is particularly well served. This place is supported by the town hall of the 18 th and the Ile-de-France region.

The Manufacture des Abbesses was created in 2006. It is a-square room where contemporary theatre writers are defended, both comical and dramatic. The main criterion for selecting shows is that the story they tell is strong and original. Moreover, the Manufacture undertakes to multiply the creations. Presenting for the first time a story to its audience is its first desire, its raison d'être. It is a place we love, which perfectly reflects the soul of Montmartre. True more than this room: its comfort!

A four-hundred-and-a-half-room hall, Ateliers Berthier hosted the Odéon shows for three years, the time to work in the venerable 6 th arrondissement hall. Since 2005, they have formed the second area of creation of the latter. His loft aesthetics have nothing to do with the majesty of father's theatre, but it is precisely that. The construction of these workshops made of brick, stone stone and metal is the responsibility of architect Charles Garnier. They were put into service in 1898, for a century, for the benefit of the Paris Opera - built by the same Garnier - and included design stores.

It is at the bottom of an impasse that this establishment has a room with seats - plus another, named Plumbing! - which offers theatre courses and shows for small and large. Since 1991 the La Strada company is here in residence. The programming of this theatre open to all audiences is wide: pieces of boulevard to the one man show through shows for children. Please note that all the proposed theatre courses are offered all year round, even 4-5 years can express their talent!

A former warehouse for the costumes and equipment of the Workshop Theatre, this sixty-basement hall has been host to innovative shows since 1984 and readings. Led by Alain-Alexis Barsacq, it lies at the end of the small impasse at the end of Charles-Dullin Square. Workshops and internships are proposed. This place is extraordinary, because it seems to belong to another era. Paul Golub says of him: " It is a place of resistance, creativity, transmission, sharing, and like Atalante in Greek mythology always ahead of its contenders! " Well said!

This room, built in 1994 - two hundred and forty-five places - is a district that is subsidized by the City of Paris. It is managed by the New Theatre in November and offers theatre pieces and shows for the young public. Its programming is rich and varied: on the two slots of the day, many creations are proposed. At the end of June, "surprises from off Avignon" are in Honor. Finally, "Thursday mornings", pieces intended for the school audience.

The Tarmac was named International French-language theatre - Tilf - between its creation in 1985 and 2005, when it changed its name as executive. Valérie Baran succeeded Gabriel Garran. The latter's founding idea remains in force: present all forms of Francophone theatrical scriptures regardless of their geographical origins. Initially, the Tilf is nomadic. It occurs in various places - Pompidou Centre, National Chaillot Theatre, MC 93, storm theatre, Bouffes du Nord - and in national and international festivals. In 1993, it was recognised as a national interest and settled in the park of La Villette at the Pavillon du Charolais, a former bar of the cattle market in the theatre of one hundred and sixty squares. The Tarmac program is rich in surprises. This is where Maïmouna Gueye discovered in Bambi, she is black, but she is beautiful, provided a great success, as well as A Love Supreme, show jazz-theatre of Luc Clémentin according to the new of Emmanuel Dongala. Since the summer of 2011, the Tarmac has set sail and left La Villette. Direction Gambetta Avenue where the building then occupied by the Théâtre de l'Est Paris becomes its new house. More spacious, the room welcomes all French-speaking talents with passion.

For 50 years, Théâtre Ouvert in Paris has been a bastion for new stage talent, carrying the flame of an innovative and committed vision. Founded in 1971 by Lucien and Micheline Attoun, this nomadic venue moved behind the Moulin Rouge in 1981, becoming a place where generations of artists have come and gone. Today, on avenue Gambetta, the renovated theater, subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Paris, offers spaces conducive to the development of a contemporary repertoire, encouraging the works to flourish and their encounter with the public.

A top place in the history of the Parisian theatre, this room has depended on the Comédie-Française since the 1990 s. In 1913, the theatre of the Old Colombier opened its doors in the old Athenaeum Saint-Germain under Jacques Copeau's leadership. A theorist, director and actor, he leads a troupe that is resolutely determined to renovate drama, in an ascetic spirit - no spaces - opposed to the «cowardice of mercantile theatre». To be part of Louis Jouvet, Charles Dullin, Valentine Tessier… The classics and contemporary authors - Claudel, Gide… - are here. The company Pitoëff and Jean Tedesco took the lead in 1924. The Pitoëff create many memorable shows. In 1944, the camera was mounted in camera by Jean-Paul Sartre in a staged by Raymond Rouleau. As you can see, the Old Colombier is one of the places of cultural renewal that cristallise after the war in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. And that continues! Classified Historic monument in 1978, it was bought by the State in 1986. After staying closed for many years, Old Colombier flies Again in 1993. It became the second theatre of the Comédie-Française, which plays works mainly from the contemporary repertoire. The room was renovated by the architect Bernard Kohn. With three hundred places, it gives the spectators the impression that they are under the hull of a vessel overthrown by the shape of its wooden structure.

The rather massive Palais de la Mutualité was built in 1931. It features a number of spaces that can accommodate both banquets and political meetings. On certain evenings, its large, balconyed hall, seating eighteen hundred and fifty, hosts concerts of all kinds. The hall, named Edouard-Hériot, has already welcomed a number of renowned artists and hopes to do so again in the years to come, and its 2012 Art Deco renovation by Jean-Michel Wilmotte should open up new prospects.

Decorated with the paquebots of the 1930 s, this boat with terrace has one of the most beautiful situations in the world: It is in fact the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. It offers concerts of groove, jazz, Brazilian music, reggae or songs. If you are a budding musician and you want to carry out a concert (or another event), you can privatize the place and can bring up to 120 people! A good address to discover.

The Appointment of the moon, a series of concerts in small groups are given in a space of the church are located along the Forum Des Halles. Renowned artists or emerge feature new shows to it. Guaranteed surprise. An advice: do not take long to reserve your place.

It is very difficult to find an artist of any renown that the curriculum would not indicate a passage through Le Zenith. Either in front of a festival, or at a festival, of a support party to this or that. The programming is mainly oriented towards all forms of popular music: songs, rock, reggae, rap… At each concert, large crowds pass through a lot of the park of La Villette to join this strange construction of a metal frame covered with a silver canvas. Inside, it can accommodate up to six thousand people. The room is adjustable. So you can find yourself in a more or less large area, with seating seats or promenoirs. One of the strengths of the Zenith is that visibility remains correct. There is never more than 50 metres between you and the scene.

Le Zenith is the first new equipment to have opened its doors in the park of La Villette. Inaugurated in 1984, it is the work of architects Philippe Chaix and Jean-Paul Morel. The first artist to have occurred there is Renaud. It was for the then Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, that he was created. For a good time, the capital needed a large space to be organized with great concerts for young people. There was another installation for electric and hairy music: Pantin Racecourse, a top where the best formations of the 1970 s, babas, hard and punk, from Gong to The Clash, passing through Trust. Barbara went on as well. But it eventually gives way to this Zenith, whose concept is now declining in sixteen major French cities.

A mecca for French-language chanson, created in 1947 by Jacques Canetti, the venue offers two hundred and fifty seats on two levels, as well as work areas, a restaurant, a bar and a foyer. To ensure perfect soundproofing, the hall is "enclosed" in a caisson set on stilts. As for the programming, it returns to the origins of Les Trois Baudets. The spotlight is on song, with emerging talents from the French-speaking scene, those who find themselves in the middle of the road, between making do and a real career.

Walls and red armchairs arranged in a circle: L'Européen is the perfect setting for listening to artists in the field of French chanson, world music, jazz or rock. The 350-seat venue is a former café-concert dating back to 1872: Fragson, Yvette Guilbert and Edith Piaf all performed here. In the 1950s, operettas were performed here. It was also home to the Théâtre en Rond, run by directors and actors keen to return to the original Greek forms of theater - an aesthetic "opposed" to Italian-style theater.

In its two small halls, this venue offers classical and contemporary theatre, comedies, café-theatre, musicals, concerts and children's shows. From children's shows to contemporary repertoire, there is no shortage here. People come to discover, sometimes to test, sometimes to be amazed, but they always learn, especially the youngest ones through numerous workshops. Warning: to find the theatre, and if you come for the first time, the Darius-Milhaud alley is not always well indicated.

The White Queen is a theater, but also a cultural place in the broadest sense. Since its takeover by Elisabeth Bouchaud in 2015, the site has become an art and science scene. Physicist, author, director and actor, Elisabeth Bouchaud has his desire to decompartmentalize disciplines to create expressive and artistic forms in order to take the scientific word to make it sensitive and intelligible to all audiences.

The Tremplin Theatre, inaugurated on 20 October 1990 at the initiative of the duo Pinok and Matho, is a friendly, independent place open to creators who wish to offer an original work before a public. Authors, directors, actors: the young talents are here to discover this tremplin scene. Theatre, mime, poetry, dance, music and French song… Artists work in all areas of the show. An indispensable address for discovering future great talents!

This is the third scene of the Comédie-Française, the other two are the historic Richelieu hall and the Old Colombier. The Studio-Théâtre opened in 1996. His name refers to the First Studio of the Moscow Art Theatre created by Stanislavski in 1912. The intimate relationship between spectators and interpreters is preferred. The one-hundred-and-thirty-six-seat hall has been designed by architect Michel Sené as part of the Carrousel du Louvre shopping gallery, which links the rue de Rivoli to the Louvre Museum. It plays short pieces drawn from the European directory and is made to text readings selected from those preferred by the French Actors. Projections are also being organized here. Since 2003, the Studio-Théâtre is also named Salle Jean-Pierre-Miquel in tribute to the Deputy Head of the Comédie-française who is at the origin of his existence.

It was once... a lyon industrialist about the East and Asia. Emile Guimet - 1836-1918 - presented first his collections in the city, then had a museum in Paris. Opened in 1889, it specialises in the presentation of works of art from the Far East. Its auditorium of two hundred and eighty locations offers live music, dance, theatre, puppets, of shadow theatre, film screenings, meetings and conferences in addition to the temporary exhibitions, donations or acquisitions.

The Claude-Levi-Strauss theatre is the auditorium of the Musée du quai Du. Inaugurated in 2006, this museum presents art collections from Africa, Oceania, Asia and America. The building is signed by Jean Nouvel. A room of three hundred or ninety or four hundred and eighty-three places, depending on the configuration, shows shows in connection with the contents of the collections or temporary exhibitions and concerts of a wide variety, given for one hour a month at 16 h or 18 h. There are also children's shows, as well as lectures from popular university types. There is also a cinema room with seats.

The acoustics of this Art Deco room are very well-known. With four hundred places, it was built in 1930 on the plans of Auguste Perret, the architect who designed the theatre of the Champs-Elysées. It is used in the activities of the Ecole normale de Musique de Paris, but is also rented for the concert organisation. This is a plateau where many pianists take place. There are also the famous 12-hour concerts every Tuesday, Thursday and some Wednesday from October to May (off school holidays). These concerts are free to discover tomorrow's talents.

Consisting of two small rooms installed in an ancient banana mûrisserie, the Théâtre theatre was born in 1982. His géniteurs included actor Vicky Messica who was a long director of places. Lee Fou Et and Ludovic Michel today provide leadership. Many contemporary pieces are presented here, as well as text readings, with incursions on the dance or cabaret side and the song recital. In addition, a program is specially designed for the young public.

The director in stage Georges Vitaly initiated the creation of this open room in 1948. It is located in the old Paris of the Latin Quarter. The address was in the Caucasus, an Armenian restaurant hosted by Charles Aznavour's parents. Vitaly's goal is to have a place where to create new authors'performances such as Jacques Audiberti, Guillaume Hanoteau… Young actors made their first teeth there: Jacqueline Maillan, Claude Gensac, Pierre Mondy, François Chaumette, Jacques Fabbri, Michel Roux, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Zillah Chelton… Party to head the theatre of La Bruyère in 1952, Vitaly gave the direction of the room to Marcel Pinard that allows Ionesco to see her works mounted. Since February 16, 1957, the Bald Singer and the Learning of this Ionesco are played here. This is a record of global longevity! However, everything had gone wrong for these parts. The first was raised by Nicolas Battle aux Night in 1950, the second by Marcel Cuvelier in the Pocket Theatre the following year. Both have experienced a great deal of failures before they return to La. In 2007, the fiftieth anniversary of the event was celebrated. This says, in this small room of seats, the creation in the second part of the evening during which a recent piece is given, this time as in any theater! It should be noted that the theatre of La Death has been under the control of its actors since the 1960 s.

The theatre is located in a historic site built in 1676, the Hotel de Charny. Baudelaire lived there and Cézanne set up a workshop. Michel Bouttier and Sissia Buggy opened the Espace Marais in a wing previously occupied by a chocolate factory. Special feature of the hall: spectators surround the stage, you can be seated in an armchair or on a bench on the side - lower rates. Throughout the year, the programme features a large number of classics by Molière, Beaumarchais, Marivaux, Voltaire, Feydeau or adaptations of literary texts by Camus, Zweig, Sartre or Genet. The theatre is also a place for training - courses and workshops for all ages and levels.

Founded by the City of Paris on an idea of Pierre Seghers in 1983, the Maison de la Poésie was installed until 1995 on the terrace of the Forum des Halles. She now sits in the walls of the Molière theatre. It was inaugurated in 1791, in the midst of the French Revolution - in 1793, it is renamed Théâtre Des Sans Culottes. He knows some frustrations and becomes an arms room, depository shop, ballroom, returns to the theatre, then turns into a meeting place and ends up being shared by shops. Completely renovated, the grand hall presents the characteristics of the architecture of the theatres of the th century. It can contain one hundred and four spectators. A second room has seats. The programming consists of shows devoted to poets and playwrights of yesterday and today, from here and elsewhere. Conferences and meetings are also held in these walls.

Here, audiences can enjoy a large auditorium with 550 seats and a small theater with 100 seats. The venue has a rich history: in the ^19th century, Frédérick Lemaître, Déjazet, Henry Monnier and Hortense Schneider were among the headliners at the Variétés, where comedies, dramas and operettas such as Offenbach's La Belle Hélène premiered here in 1864. Today, it's a venue renowned for its eclectic programming, in which boulevard plays have pride of place: audiences keep coming back for more!

Opened in 1907, the Salle Gaveau takes its name from the pianos of the same name. A host of artists soon made the venue a must-see. Bought by Chantal and Jean-Marie Fournier in 1976. The Salle Gaveau was listed as a historic monument in 1992 and subsequently renovated. After renovation, it reopened its doors in 2001. The interior has been restored to its former glory, and the warm golden hue of the decor is very similar to that of its origins. As for the program, it has been restored to its former glory, with a strong emphasis on classical music.

The Jazz Club Lionel Hampton at Hotel Méridien became Etoile in 2009 after renovation. Since 1975, he has hosted traditional jazz orchestras, blues and rhythm blues in a very comfortable environment of three hundred places. Batteur, the famous figure of the business show of his time, created it. These are legends such as Lionel Hampton, of course, Fats Domino, BB King, Cab Calloway, Oscar Peterson, Dr John, Screamin'Jay Hawkins, Allen All, Solomon Burke, Dizzy Gillespie… Claude Bolling, Christian Morin, Michel Leeb, Sacha Distel also played or sang.

Pianist Yaron Herman opened this appointment in September 2009. Every Thursday of the month, jazz is honoured, like the Mélomania cycle, devoted to classical music since 2006. The aim is, of course, to bring jazz to new audiences (young audiences, novice public audiences…) thanks to free concerts in the festive hall, while allowing free meetings between musicians of jazz and improvised.

The concerts given here at midday connect classic musicians with other artists from jazz or song. The concept proposed by Arièle Butaux, in perfect conformity with the project, could not stop so much as it met with the visitors. The dialogue between artists from different musical backgrounds and the strong emotion that emerges from each of these meetings on the stage of the auditorium is the living response to the principle of confrontation in the galleries of the museum. Paintings, sculptures and objects of art are highlighted in permanent collections and, in the auditorium, the other arts are at the honour of revealing in a lively and dynamic manner the multiple influences of artistic currents.

Four universities are present in Sorbonne - Paris I, Paris III, Paris IV, Paris V -, as well as the rector of the Paris Academy, the School of charters and the Ecole normale des Hautes Etudes.
