Théâtre Daunou, Art Deco theatre in 2nd arrondissement, France.
Théâtre Daunou is an Art Deco theatre in Paris's 2nd arrondissement featuring a 450-seat auditorium decorated with golden daisy motifs and distinctive blue tones. The interior was designed by fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin to create an elegant and refined setting.
The theatre was built in 1921 by architect Auguste Bluysen on the site of a former Capucines convent, commissioned by actress Jane Renouardt. Its construction marked the transformation of the location into a modern theatrical venue for the period.
The theatre specializes in comedy productions, starting with its inaugural show 'Une sacrée petite blonde' by André Birabeau and Pierre Wolff.
The theatre is located at 7 rue Daunou near Opera metro station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Its central position in the 2nd arrondissement offers convenient access for visitors.
The building's facade features sphinx sculptures and masks in Empire style, which was considered outdated by 1921 when the theatre was built. This contrast between classical exterior ornamentation and contemporary interior design creates an intriguing architectural blend.
