Ateliers Berthier, Theatre venue in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Description
Ateliers Berthier is a theatre in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, housed within a converted warehouse with around 480 seats, originally designed by architect Charles Garnier in 1895. The venue features modern technical equipment, a bookstore, and a bar where guests can gather.
History
The building was originally constructed in 1895 as a storage facility for Paris Opera stage sets and underwent major conversion in 2003. This transformation created a new performance venue that has since become closely linked with contemporary theatrical work.
Culture
The site reflects how a former functional industrial space became a place of artistic expression, where theatrical performances now happen in a room that still shows its working past. Visitors can sense this history in the stone walls and building structure as they watch contemporary shows and experimental works.
Practical
Getting there is easy using public transportation to 1 Rue André Suarès in the 17th arrondissement. Plan extra time to spend in the bar or bookstore before or after shows if you want to make the most of your visit.
Did you know?
The building was never intended to hold an audience, serving instead as a purely practical facility for opera production. Its shift from a quiet warehouse to an active performance space represents an unusual career path for a Paris structure.
