Olympia, Historic concert hall in 9th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Olympia is a concert hall in Paris's 9th arrondissement distinguished by its striking red neon facade. The interior blends traditional features with modern acoustics, providing a spacious auditorium designed for excellent sound and sightlines.
Founded in 1893 by Joseph Oller, the same entrepreneur behind the Moulin Rouge, the venue evolved from showcasing opera and music hall acts into France's premier concert destination. This transformation reflected changing tastes in Parisian entertainment.
The venue takes its name from founder Joseph Oller and remains deeply connected to Paris's musical tradition. Legendary French performers like Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel performed here, cementing its place in the city's cultural memory.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and hosts diverse programming from concerts to comedy shows and special events. Tickets are available through official channels, making it straightforward to plan a visit for various types of performances.
The venue was completely demolished and faithfully reconstructed in 1997 beneath its original facade. This radical renovation preserved its midnight blue ceiling and black walls while replacing all internal systems with modern equipment.
