Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, Historical theatre in central Paris, France
The Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens features Italian-style architecture with seating for 600 spectators across multiple levels in the 2nd arrondissement.
Jacques Offenbach established the theatre in 1855, creating a venue dedicated to operetta performances before relocating to its current location at Rue Monsigny.
The theatre transformed from an operetta-focused venue to a diverse performance space, presenting works by playwrights such as Sacha Guitry and Jean Cocteau.
The box office opens Monday through Sunday from 2 PM until show time, with the main entrance at 4 Rue Monsigny and additional access through 65 Passage Choiseul.
The building, designed by architect Théodore Ballu in 1863, replaced the original structure while maintaining the theatrical traditions established by Offenbach.
