Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, Theater in 10th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The theater building features a grand entrance with columns, ornate decorations, and a classical architectural design at 18 Boulevard Saint-Martin.
Nicolas Lenoir constructed the original structure in 1781 to house the Paris Opera after a fire destroyed the previous Palais-Royal performance hall.
The theater marked French theatrical history by hosting the premiere of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac in 1897 with actor Constant Coquelin.
The performance venue accommodates 2000 spectators across multiple levels, including a parterre, amphitheater sections, and numerous viewing boxes.
After its destruction during the Paris Commune in 1871, architect Oscar de la Chardonnière rebuilt the theater with interior designs by H. Chevalier.
