Theaters Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

Theater of greenery, outdoor theater, the Silvain Theater is directed towards the sea, loti behind the Vallon des Auffes. This little personal madness of Mr. Silvain, who had him built in 1923, works again, because he has long been left behind. The 28 000-seat Chamber was renovated and returned to the public in 2011. What a pleasure then to find an eclectic summer program: A lot of music, classical concerts, lyrics, operetta, jazz, world music, dance. The outdoor projections (film fiction fiction, documentaries offered by associations and film projections during the International Documentary Festival) are the other great idea of the theater. We wait for nightfall with family, friends around a picnic, then the sitting begins… Absolutely magnificent frame!

Ideally located on the Quai de Rive-Neuve, Badaboum Théâtre has dedicated its programming to young audiences for over 25 years. The shows and schedules are adapted for very young children, from 3 to 12 years old. On the program: puppet shows, story readings, circus shows and small fairy tales. A snack extends these moments of escape from poetry and history. Workshops and workshops in theatre, circus and dance are also offered during the week and during the holidays, mainly for 5-12 year olds, and occasionally for young actors. Finally, wake-up classes from 18 months are available.

A veritable temple dedicated to classical music, opera and dance, this theatre is one of the city's new must-see buildings. With its modern exterior and Italian-style auditorium, the GTP (Grand Théâtre de Provence) is equipped with the latest technology: high quality acoustics, an orchestra pit with 105 musicians and 1,370 seats, 950 of which are on the floor. In July, it hosts operas from the Festival of Lyric Art. At Easter, the festival of the same name takes place there.

The TNN houses two Italian rooms: Michel Simon Room (320 seats) and Pierre Brasseur Hall (1,000 seats) as well as an amphitheater with 300 seats and a rehearsal room. The first drama center in France since 2005, it welcomes all forms of theater performances, including many creations. The regional companies and the major Parisian posters fill a program rich in high-quality shows with high-quality actors. The evenings of representation, the restaurant upstairs offers a chic snacking break from 6 p. m. and a gourmet map to savor after the show in a refined setting. Everything is thought of for the spectator's pleasure.

As the name suggests, laughter is the watchword at this beautiful purple-hued venue, which seats up to 240 people. The opening acts are regularly café-théâtre and one-man/woman shows. Unlike the smaller theaters in Vieux Nice, the hall is spacious and offers three different categories. This theater often hosts well-known artists and revisits famous plays. For fun and laughter, come and enjoy yourself.

Opened in 1993, the establishment is largely outside the theatre area: concerts, cinema, conferences, etc.

Built on the narrow site of the former royal Jeu de Paume dating from the ^mid-18th century, this superb little Italian-style theater with a capacity of 493 seats has a charm all its own, due in part to the intimate atmosphere it exudes. Completely renovated in 2000, it boasts comfortable seats and perfect acoustics. It works hand in hand with Marseille's Théâtre du Gymnase and the Grand Théâtre de Provence, each year offering a program that alternates from one venue to the other, but is combined in a single catalog offered to the public.

On the Quai Rive-Neuve proudly stands the Théâtre de La Criée, the national theater housed in Marseille's former fish market. A former meeting place for fishermen and fishmongers, it is now a mythical cultural meeting place under the sensitive, modern direction of Macha Makeïeff since 2011. According to its director, the theater is "a factory of images and the imaginary, open to all". Even today, the voices of this former market hall are heard loud and clear, its soul palpable and preserved. The interior comprises a large 800-seat auditorium with specially designed machinery, plus another 200-seat auditorium. On arrival, spectators enter a huge hall, a preface to contemporary theater and the most diverse forms of writing performed within it by the most singular thinkers.

Do we still need to introduce Toursky, the mythical theater founded by Richard Martin, one of Marseilles' leading cultural figures? This theatrical and human adventure is militant and committed to the fight against exclusion, obscurantism and intolerance. Each season brings a new batch of plays, with a novelty for young people, popular shows, superb sets and celebrities who often come to perform. The eclectic program includes plays, cabaret, cine-theater, cinema, poetic circus, dance, concerts, comedy, one-man shows, art exhibitions and more. The full program is available on their website.

Three years ago, the Mini-Theatre underwent significant transformations: renovation of the boxes and the technical grill. It is therefore in a technically more efficient and comfortable space that this small theatre of the shopping Cart welcomes artists and Spectators. In the image of La Wasteland, another wall theatre, located on the next number, with whom it shares the programming of the Lenche, the Mini reflects a cultural action associated with the life of the neighborhood. Theatres of entertainment, but also places of meetings with the public, dialogues with artistic teams, general rehearsals open to inhabitants of the 2nd arrondissement, moments of exchange on the essential issues that the show raises. When theatre creates a social link, it is often in these small places that are found by local troops. Same shirts for the Théâtre de Lenche, Wasteland du Panier and Mini-Théâtre. As the gauges are relatively small, reservations are strongly recommended.

Two very different rooms: a large for classical programming and one, smaller is suitable for shows of intimacy. Consult their website for programming.

The intimate little room offers a great closeness to the actors. Very beautiful parts of the program. In addition to the shows given there (from October to May, Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon), there are dramatic art workshops for children, adolescents and adults.

This theatre of the centre is very charming with its red velvet chairs, and the extension of the scene that flows into the public. Very diversified programming is not lacking in originality.

In collaboration with the Cultural Centre of Providence, this theatre welcomes different troops. Original programming open to all kinds of audiences.

Two rooms: Michel Simon (320 places) and Pierre Brasseur (1 000 seats), rhythm the theatre season of the Nice-Côte d'Azur National Dramatic Centre.

Built between 1709 and 1713, he underwent work in 1954 on the will of Prince Rainier III and was transformed into a theatre of open air. Facing the sea, it has a capacity of 350 places. As you will understand, by its architecture, it is in service during the season. He receives organizations that are destined to animate the city. There are usually free demonstrations, such as street shows.

Built in the location of a former theatre and theatre complex dating back to 1932, it was completely renovated in an Art Deco style and opened in 1981. Currently led by Patrick Hourdequin, theatre is meant to be a unifying of a broad audience. Therefore, the programming is accordingly and offers shows really for all tastes. According to the wishes of Princess Grace, who is at the origin of this theatre, laughter is the common denominator of the programming, which explains the fact that it can also be seen in the stage of the boulevard. Please note that Princess Grace would have personally occupied all the interior decoration.

This theatre was built in the early part of the s and was built in a different theme each year, with musical, musical and theatre performances. Internships, actions, interventions, literary cafés, readings are in a different way, rich programming. You can count on a different show per week. The bar is open every evening for an hour and a half before the shows.
