Concert halls Paris 9th 75009

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.

The Comédie Caumartin is one of those popular theaters where laughter has been the order of the evening for decades. Numerous plays by Georges Feydeau, Tristan Bernard and Sacha Guitry, as well as "one-man shows", are on offer. Built in 1906, this 400-seat theater was named the Comédie Royale before adopting its current name in 1923. It closed in 1932 and was revived 20 years later by Jacques Fabbri's troupe. From 1960 to 1980, it presented "Boeing Boeing", Marc Camoletti's timeless vaudeville. Since then, one boulevard play follows another.

The Palais Garnier was commissioned by Napoleon III and was one of the key pieces of the major renovation work carried out in the capital by Baron Haussmann. Charles Garnier was the architect. This sumptuous temple of lyrical art and classical dance was inaugurated in 1875 after fifteen years of work. It is admired as much for its architecture as for its programs. There is the famous double revolution staircase that soars under a marble nave of various shades - as soon as it opened, it was adopted by "good society" who liked to show off. The foyers are filled with sculptures and paintings. As for the hall, dominated by red and gold colours, it has a huge and legendary crystal chandelier - 8 tons! - and a ceiling painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. It can accommodate nineteen hundred people. A museum tells, through its collections and temporary exhibitions, three centuries of opera history. The institution is equipped with an orchestra that performs most of the works on the program. The Palais Garnier shares with the Opéra Bastille its productions of lyrical shows, but has remained a Mecca for dance. Some recitals and symphonic concerts are also on the programme.

This theatre owes the love of an English impresario to his dancer. In 1919 Sir Alfred Butt built it for Régine Flory, on the Palladium model of London. He is named Palace Theatre. During the Roaring Years, you can see the Ballets Russian, classical music concerts, pianiste. And operettas, that until the 1970 s. The site then welcomes all kinds of shows: concerts rock and song - Jacques Higelin… - plays by Jérôme Savary, Robert Hossein… -, musicals - Starmania… Before returning to the Pleyel room in 2006, the Paris Orchestra was in residence some time ago. Becoming a subsidiary of Stage Entertainment, the place was the subject of work in 2007 and reopened to focus mainly on the dissemination of performances mixing theatre and music (the Lion King…). The renovated room can accommodate 1628 spectators and there are 6 bars - three on the ground floor, one on the first balcony and two on the second balcony. Finally, a collection of contemporary art presents works by, notably, Robert Combas, Thierry Bisch, Patrick Boussignac, Hélène Guetary, Raya Sorkine…

Built in 1913 for King Edward VII of England, one of the great lovers of Belle Époque Parisian life, this was the theater where Sacha Guitry premiered many of his plays during the 1920s. After extensive renovations, the theatre reopened in 2001 under the direction of Bernard Murat and Jean-Louis Livi. This handsome, vast 720-seat venue is located close to the Opéra Garnier, on a pretty pedestrian street that was pedestrianized several decades ago. Its programming, both popular and cutting-edge, is a great success.

If the Folies are Bergère, it's because the café concert built here in 1869 was to take a street name. As the nearby lanes all bore surnames, only this pretty, evocative word would do! At the end of the ^19th century, the room's promenade saw many demi-mondaines and noceurs pass by. In 1926, Joséphine Baker, another big star of the Folies Bergère, arrived, along with numerous revues. This was followed by musicals and other productions such as "Nine" and "Fame", as well as numerous shows.

The adventure of the New Theatre began in 1827. He had three successive addresses before settling in this 590-seat room inaugurated in 1921. It is one of the temples of the light show: There was a lot of music and a lot of music. Arletty, Michel Simon, Elvire Popesco, Jean Lefebvre, Jacques Balutin, Henri Guybet, Chevallier and Laspalès, Robert Lamoureux, and Marthe Mercadier surveyed his scene. In 2010, Pascal Legros took the lead in the theatre.

Located next door to the Folies Bergère, the Théâtre Trévise is one of Paris's top addresses for laughter. And it's the freedom of tone that characterizes this theater. The stage is open to young talent, as well as world music and dance. Some are nervous, others promising, and even some future greats perform here. Jamel Debbouze, Eric et Ramzy and many others have performed at Le Trévise. The stage is open to artists who want to join the Festival international d'expression artistique libre et désordonnée.

The Bout was created by the company Les Cousins d'Arnolphe, which had the project to give the café-theatre the letters of nobility it deserves, to prove that it is a full theatrical discipline, a formidable way to address the essential issues of life. Their performances have travelled through the halls of Paris and elsewhere, with the support of Sylvie Joly, Yves Lecoq, Philippe Bouvard or Catherine Lachens, patron of the Café-Theatre school who sits at the End. The site opened in 1999. With 50 seats, the Bout Square room features mainly one man shows and the creations of the house troupe. In addition, there are open scene evenings and children's shows. In 2007, a second room was opened. Named The Round Round, it is specialised in the stand-up. Here is a little Bout with great ambitions!

This legendary venue, with its chaotic past (it was threatened with demolition in the early 1980s, but underwent extensive renovation in the late 2000s), is one of our most popular venues. Formerly dedicated to seated shows, the Casino de Paris also presents a wide variety of shows, including concerts, evening events, fashion shows, revues, one-man shows... Today, with its emphasis on comedy, the venue regularly sells out, and it's not uncommon to see long queues stretching along the sidewalk of this gently sloping street.

"Paris je t'aime" is the title of the revue presented here. Dances, including the unmissable French cancan, comic attractions, mime, juggling, acrobatics... are all part of the program at this two-hundred-and-eighty-seat venue, which opened in 1949. From the very first years, the shows featured talents such as Erté and Balenciaga. The trend was set, and La Nouvelle Eve has continued to offer its spectators sparkling shows. If you opt for the dinner-concert option, the food is excellent. In short, a must.

Opened in 1896, the Théâtre de l'Athénée Louis-Jouvet is a listed historic monument renowned for its exceptional acoustics, and one of the finest Italian-style theaters in Paris. It's known for its spirit of laboratory work, its taste for strong artistic encounters and creation, and its desire to open up to a wide audience. In 2021, Olivier Poubelle, Olivier Mantei and Bernard Le Masson became owners of the theater, with Olivier Poubelle taking over management.

The International Visual Theatre brings together deaf actors for training and professional performances. He was born in 1976 and has long housed in the castle of Vincennes Castle before settling here, in a former chapel converted into Theatre-Salon in 1895. Until 1963, the Grand-Guignol theatre presented its Gore shows. Since 2007, the IVT has shown signs of sign language throughout the year. Under the leadership of actress Emmanuelle Laborit, he is open to the voices of both artists and the public.

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 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.

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.
