Montmartre Galabru
Description
Montmartre Galabru is a theater and cabaret in the 18th arrondissement of Paris housed in a building with historic character and intimate setting with simple decor. The seating is arranged close to the stage so audiences sit near the performers, making each show feel personal and engaging.
History
The theater was founded in 1850 and originally called Conservatoire Maubel, hosting famous artists like Raimu and Fréhel. After years of decline, actor Michel Galabru purchased the building in the 1970s to preserve it, then multiple renovations brought it to its present condition.
Culture
The theater is named after Michel Galabru, the actor who rescued and revived the building. Visitors experience today the close bond between audience and performers that defines the space as a vibrant hub for local creative expression.
Practical
The theater sits close to main streets and public transportation, making it easy for visitors to arrive by bus, metro, or car with parking nearby. It is worth checking the website beforehand to see what shows are scheduled and secure tickets in advance.
