Théâtre Grévin, Italian-style theater in 9th arrondissement, France
Théâtre Grévin is an Italian-style theater at 10 Boulevard Montmartre featuring a stage curtain painted by Jules Chéret depicting Commedia dell'Arte characters. The intimate venue accommodates around 200 spectators and functions primarily as a concert and theatrical performance hall.
The theater was constructed in 1900 during the Universal Exposition, transforming from a magic performance venue into a refined cultural space under Gabriel Thomas. This evolution reflects the artistic aspirations of the Belle Époque period.
The venue hosts classical music performances, theatrical shows, and recitals that draw locals and visitors seeking intimate cultural experiences. The setting encourages audiences to linger nearby, exploring the boulevard's shops and restaurants before or after performances.
The theater is easily accessible via the Grands Boulevards metro station and situated centrally on Boulevard Montmartre. Nearby parking options and cafes are available, making it convenient for visitors to combine their visit with other activities.
The building features a high relief sculpture titled Les Nuées by Antoine Bourdelle adorning its pediment, adding artistic distinction. This sculptural element gives the theater an extra layer of artistic interest beyond its role as a performance venue.
