Concert halls Seine-Maritime

It was Marie de Medici who laid the first stone of this architectural treasure in 1615. At the end of the 19th century, it was saved from destruction and classified as a historical monument. Bombed in 1942, its restoration took several decades, and the first work on an auditorium will begin in 2014. Today under the responsibility of the Rouen Opera, the venue offers a very beautiful and eclectic artistic program of songs, recitals, chamber and symphonic music concerts, world music...

The Opéra de Rouen is the city's cultural institution, with two performance halls: the Théâtre des Arts and the Chapelle Corneille. Every year, 100,000 spectators flock here to enjoy top-quality operas, concerts and dance performances. All audiences are catered for, with performances for children and the visually and hearing impaired. We love the €5 ticket for under 28s and those on minimum social benefits. So this year, go for it!

On the left bank, the former port hangar transformed into a concert hall is easily identifiable by its two yellow cranes. Le 106 is Rouen's major contemporary music venue. Its programming of nationally and internationally renowned artists has made it a must-see venue. In addition to its 1,200-capacity auditorium, Le 106 has a club room, rehearsal and recording rooms, a design studio, exhibition and conference spaces. Don't miss the Rush festival in June.

Built at the end of the ^19th century, the magnificent cirque-théâtre d'Elbeuf is one of the last eight permanent circuses in France, and the only one with an Italian-style ring and stage. A venue for performances, training, creation, artistic discoveries and encounters, this vast complex is now home to the regional circus arts center. Its programming, which has succeeded in dusting off the circus arts, is based on innovation and multi-disciplinarity, and is aimed at all audiences, children and adults alike.

The Cabaret electric is an essential place for contemporary music in the heart of the Niemeyer space. The Cabaret Electric animates the nights with an average of two concerts per week. Known or less known, local or international artists come to the rhythm of Jazz, Rap, but above all rock and electro-pop-rock in a room for up to 450 spectators. Three rehearsal studios also cater for musicians, and a bar awaits you every evening from Tuesday to Saturday.

The Sirius, already classified as Art and Trial, will soon become the centre of Art and Test du Havre, since the closure of the room L'Eden (the volcano cinema). Proximity to the university prevailed over the other places (Clubs and Studio) that could claim to this appellation, which seems to be very envied. It would be tempting to write that this is the last quarter of the neighbourhood in Le Havre, and this gives this place all the nobility that is worth passionate.

With three halls, the largest of which has 240 seats, film classified Art and Trial, the Sirius would be as a necessary small star in the local film panorama. Good programming in children's movies, preferential rates for students - cinema is next to the university - work with and around schools.

If you like to see a variety of shows, some crazy, some traditional, then the Almendra should please you! This small venue, located between Boulevard de Verdun and Vallon Suisse, can accommodate up to 50 seated spectators. You will discover a particularly eclectic programme, ranging from improvisation to classical performances, with a real proximity between the audience and the actors. It is the ideal place to discover the living arts such as cabaret, comedy shows, dance or theatre. The place is popular.

Located on the left bank, this unique cabaret in town offers music-hall shows mixing dance, singing, comedy, burlesque, frills, transformation and humour, all orchestrated by a Master Loyal. These festive and good-natured revues can be enjoyed over a "Plume" or "Prestige" menu at lunch or dinner, with dishes as appetizing as each other on the menu. The BM Company that performs here caters to all audiences with plenty of glitter and feathers. L'Étoile also offers a Sunday tea dance and a nightclub.

Two rooms for 2 300 armchairs, on five floors, with public programming. The whole is vast (too?), colorful, including the logo, the daisy, redesigned by Christian Lacroix.

As the first French port of tropical foodstuffs in the early th century, the port of Le Havre quickly needs to expand. In 1846, around the basin of the same name, the "Docks" are erected to shelter precious goods. Today, the «Café Café» houses the exhibition grounds, while the «Docks Docks» hosts sports events, concerts, etc. Varied shows and leisure await you in these inescapable places in the cultural life of Le Havre.

To have a good time and laugh out loud, nothing beats an evening at the Théâtre à l'Ouest, Rouen's stage dedicated to comedy. This 180-seat venue, created by director Loïc Bonnet and presenter Bruno Roblès, now gives pride of place to comedians of all stripes with one-man and one-woman shows, stand-up comedy, improvisation shows... It's an opportunity to discover new talents in comedy and to meet up with well-known comedians. Moreover, the godfather of the theatre is none other than Franck Dubosc, a native of Petit-Quevilly

A cinema of seven rooms in the city centre, it becomes rare. We have to take advantage of that, before we open the Multiplexes area in the Docks area, which should surely hurt here. A Art and Trial vocation with more films in VO is on track.

As usual, the THC presents a rich and public season, where alternating theatre, music, song. For children, programming of a Côté Diem season for theater performances, storytelling, dance, puppets Wednesday afternoon.

This is a most atypical place where culture and show come to nest regularly. For almost thirty years, for example, the festival hall welcomes the Locale actors'local troupe for seven weekends at the beginning of the year. Concerts and evenings are organised as much as afternoon dancing.

A nice walk for Le Henhouse who has just celebrated its years of existence. We climb the stairs, and to contradict Clemenceau, this is not the best time: The shows given in this old apartment sometimes offer beautiful surprises. It is therefore in a small room of about places that they suit the public, happy to come there for seven years to discover amateur actors but facetious and never short of idea. Because the talent is not missing at Le Havre! Every Wednesday, place to improvisation.

The Sainte-Address cultural centre was renovated in 1999. Meals and shows are available. The room receives jazz fans during the New Orleans International Festival, Dixie Days in May. We have seen in this hall, whose godmother is Annie Girardot and the godfather of Le Havre Havre Hamet, more animations, however than in recent years. It can accommodate 400 people and seemed "perfect for the theatre" according to Annie Girardot itself.

One of the beautiful rooms in the Havre area, which hosts quality shows, the FRIT theatre improvisation matches (local team), the science and technology salon and the film festival from the grain to Démoudre.

End of the performances in the small room sanvicaise! After seven years of theatre management, the company decided to stop the programming of shows to devote itself to its own creations and to the training of some 80 students. Everything leading up to it became difficult. The company's performances will now be given in other partner locations.

Close to the forest of Montgeon, the Bastringue is a decentralized coffee-show, a little like an apartment in which you would see actors playing. In any case, it is the vocation of Claudie and Thierry Tanter, who have seen for a year the reputation of their small place, old old fashioned boiler boiler, growing up. The mouth does the rest, for every time up to fifty spectators. Local theatre companies and musicians play the game, happy to be in a friendly atmosphere, and ready to exchange with the public at the end of the show around a drink or bread.

Rich hours of Easter or summer at the Marais Cathedral for organ recitals, but occasionally concerts and recitals.
