A Grand Theatre


Theatre du Chatelet is one of Paris' most famous theaters. Built in the middle of the 19th century, it was dedicated to the “opérette“, a kind of entertainment mixing songs, speeches and sometimes ballet.

Dancers like Nijinsky and Anna Pavlova and musicians like Stravinsky, Malher, Strauss, Tchaikovsky and Debussy have all performed there.
