Théâtre de la Madeleine, Theater in 8th arrondissement, France
The Théâtre de la Madeleine is a theater with English-style architecture located on rue de Surène with seating for around 700 people. The interior retains a classic charm with red velvet seats and ornate details typical of smaller Parisian theaters.
The building was constructed in 1924 on the site of a former carousel and was designed by architect Charles Imandt. It later received protected status as a registered historic monument, recognizing its architectural importance to Paris.
The theater takes its name from the nearby Madeleine Church and reflects the artistic identity of this upscale neighborhood. Visitors experience an intimate theater culture that preserves the long tradition of Parisian performance venues.
The theater is centrally located and easy to reach by metro, as multiple lines serve Madeleine station. The nearby Saint-Augustin station offers an alternative connection if the main station is crowded.
During the 1930s, playwright Sacha Guitry shaped the house strongly by writing a series of plays for this stage. His productions made the theater a fixture in Parisian cultural life.
