THÉÂTRE HÉBERTOT

First of all, you'll be seduced by the appearance of this theatre on a boulevard with a lot of land. And inside, in this Italian room of 630 places, the charm continues. The theatre des Batignolles was opened in 1838. He became the Theatre of the Arts in 1907 and then took the name of his new director in 1940. A playwright and journalist, Jacques Hébertot already directed the Théâtre-Elysées theatre from 1920 to 1924. In 1946, during a large renovation of the theatre, the staircase ramps installed on the sides of the building and the letters H appeared throughout the site. Other notable productions: The two-head Eagle, from Jean Cocteau with Edwige Feuillère and Jean Marais, Les Juste, by Albert Camus, with Serge Reggiani, Green Queen, Maurice Béjart comédie with Maria Casarès and Jean Babilée, this strange animal, Gabriel Arout, according to Tchékhov, with Delphine Seyrig and Jean Rochefort.

After Jacques Hébertot's death in 1970, Jean-Claude Brialy was run in the theatre. In 2003, Danièle and Pierre Franck were at his head. At the end of 2013 Francis Lombrail became the new theatre director.
