The most beautiful Paris theatres
Five theatres, eleven stations, three centuries of Paris stagecraft. At Trinité-d'Estienne d'Orves, the Mogador, a music hall in the English style inaugurated in 1919, stages musicals. At Opéra, the Palais Garnier. At Palais Royal, the Comédie-Française has played in the Salle Richelieu since 1799, and Molière's armchair is displayed in its foyer. At Châtelet, Davioud's hall (1862) saw the Ballets Russes premiere Petrushka and Daphnis et Chloé. The route ends at Odéon, a neoclassical theatre inaugurated in 1782 by Marie-Antoinette, where The Marriage of Figaro premiered.
