Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Theatre in 10th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord features 503 seats within a preserved 19th-century structure near the Gare du Nord railway station.
Architect Émile Leménil designed this theatre in 1876, which later closed in 1952 due to safety concerns before Peter Brook revived it in 1974.
The theatre maintains its original architectural elements while presenting contemporary plays, operas, and musical performances throughout the year.
Located at 37 bis Boulevard de la Chapelle, the theatre requires visitors to arrive 30 minutes before performances for security checks.
The theatre's walls retain their aged appearance from 1974, when Peter Brook deliberately preserved the patina during renovations.
