Théâtre du Rond-Point, Performance venue in Jardins des Champs-Élysées, France.
The Théâtre du Rond-Point is a theater building located at the intersection of Avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Champs-Élysées in Paris's 8th arrondissement. Inside, three separate performance spaces allow the venue to host different productions and audiences simultaneously.
The building was designed by architect Gabriel Davioud and completed in 1860, first opening as a panorama hall. It was then converted into an ice skating palace in 1894 before eventually becoming a theater.
The theater celebrates contemporary playwrights and modern works, creating a space where new artistic ideas come to life on stage. This focus shapes every season's program and makes it a place where living authors see their writing performed.
The venue sits in a central location within the Champs-Élysées gardens area, making it easy to find and access. Dining facilities are available for guests before performances begin.
From 1894 to 1970, the building housed an ice skating rink that attracted many Parisians during the Belle Époque era. This transformation from ice palace to theater demonstrates how the space adapted to changing entertainment trends.
