OLYMPIA – BRUNO COQUATRIX
Go there and contact
Well-known acoustics, red velvet curtains, a balcony with impeccable views of the scene, two thousand places… Olympia deserves its fame. His story is rather turbulent. There was on its site of the Russian mountains, and then a first Olympia from 1893 where all the stars of the caf period were passed: La Goulue, Frehel, Damia… The room is then converted into a cinema before becoming the Parisian music Hall temple in 1954 when the daring Bruno Coquatrix takes the lead. A legendary period begins with the performances of the young Gilbert Bécaud. All the French and foreign stars want to climb on the scene of this place that became mythical, especially after Edith Piaf touched thousands of spectators. The Beatles, Umm Kalsoum - for its only recital outside the Arab world - Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Louis Armstrong, the Rolling Stones… History fails to stop in the 1990 s when the owner, Société Générale, plans to demolish the block of buildings where Olympia is located. Classified in 1993, it is finally reconstituted 6 metres below its original location, while the facade is preserved. This curious operation took place in 1997, Bécaud was the first to sing in this new Olympia, a room that was bought by the multinational Vivendi Universal in 2001.

A 67 ans je me fait un plaisir de voir Joaquin Sabina. Je paye un prix correct pour être dans l’orchestre et… je me retrouve en bout de rangée sur un strapontin à me casser le c…, le cou, les vertèbres tout ça pour rien voir. 1ere et dernière fois !!!
Merci l’Olympia ????????????
Juste ubuesque quand les fouilles sont plus longues que le concert c'est qu'il y a un problème. Si jamais vous voyez ce commentaire. Venez vérifier si je dis n'importe quoi peut-être exceptionnel mais quand ça arrive 3 fois ????????????????????????????????
On est vraiment les un sur les autres. Mais il faut bien faire de l'argent !
