Opéra-Comique, Opera company in Paris, France
The Opéra-Comique occupies the Salle Favart building in the 2nd district of Paris, with a theater capacity of 1100 seats.
Founded in 1714 by Catherine Baron and Gautier de Saint-Edme, the opera house moved through several locations before settling in its current Salle Favart location.
The theater premiered numerous significant operas, including Georges Bizet's Carmen in 1875 and Claude Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande in 1902.
The venue receives two-thirds of its funding from the French Ministry of Culture and maintains a regular schedule of classic and contemporary productions.
This institution specializes in opéra comique, a French genre that combines musical performances with spoken dialogue between musical numbers.
