Scala, Performance venue in 10th arrondissement, France.
Scala is a theatre building in Paris's 10th arrondissement featuring modular design and contemporary architecture. The auditorium seats about 750 people and combines excellent acoustics with advanced stage technology.
The building originated in 1873 as a guinguette, an outdoor dance venue common in Paris at the time. Over the decades it transformed through different phases, becoming a music hall, then a theatre, and later an art deco cinema, before evolving into its current form.
The theatre presents diverse performances including theatre productions, dance shows, concerts, and circus acts throughout the year. You can experience different forms of live art all in one place.
The venue sits centrally on Boulevard de Strasbourg with good access by public transport. Arrive with enough time to explore the surroundings before a show, as the neighbourhood has plenty to discover beyond the theatre walls.
Richard Peduzzi, who worked on the design of Milan's famous opera house, created both the auditorium and restaurant spaces here. This connection to a renowned Italian opera house gives the venue an interesting design lineage.
