Trocadéro, Theater in central Liège, Belgium

Trocadéro is a private theatre on rue Lulay-des-Fèbvres in Liège, in a multi-storey building with a cream and tan facade. A red vertical sign reading "TROCA" hangs above the entrance, and a dark horizontal sign reading "TROCADERO" sits over the glass ground floor. A black wrought-iron balcony runs across the facade, with a black lantern on a bracket and a small carved figure supporting a ledge below it.

The venue opened as the Eden-Strasbourg café-concert, later a music-hall, before Jean Florent Van Missiel rebuilt it in 1903–04 as the Renaissance, a hall with a fully metal frame designed by engineer-architect Paul Tombeur. After a 1926 fire, architect Maurice Devignée rebuilt the facade in Art Deco style, and the theatre reopened on 1 October 1926. The Roos family bought the building in 1917 and renamed it Trocadéro; in 1960 Lambert Lemaire and his wife Louise Mawet purchased it.

The Trocadéro is known for its revues, satirical shows mixing music, dance and sketches about current affairs and public figures, a genre still staged here in Wallonia. Since 1933 it has also hosted bilingual Walloon operettas; Si Prumi Bal, created in that era, was still performed here by the Comédiens Wallons in 2013. The house also programmes comedians and concerts, and the character Titine, played by Henriette Brenu, ran through its revues for over seventy years.

The theater sits near pedestrian zones and parking facilities, making it easy to access on foot or by car. Visitors should arrive with time to spare before performances to find seating and settle in comfortably.

The Trocadéro is the last theatre in Wallonia still staging revues, satirical shows mixing music, dance and sketches about current affairs. It also runs without any public subsidy. Its facade was rebuilt in Art Deco style by architect Maurice Devignée after the 1926 fire, and the house reopened on 1 October 1926.
