Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique, Drama school in 9th arrondissement, France
The Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique is a drama school located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. It offers a comprehensive three-year training program that combines practical theater work with theoretical study at professional level.
The school was established in 1795 as part of the Conservatoire de Paris and gained independence as a separate institution in 1946. It ranks among the oldest acting schools on the European continent.
The school teaches various theatrical disciplines including acting, singing, dance, and mime work to its students. Performers here explore both classical and contemporary texts through daily practice and experimentation.
The school operates primarily as a working institution for students rather than as a public venue for regular visits. Inquiring about occasional performances or special access opportunities through their official channels is recommended.
The school's historic theatre was built in 1811 and hosted the French premieres of Beethoven's Third and Fifth Symphonies. Hector Berlioz also conducted his first symphony there before a Paris audience.
