Théâtre des Folies-Marigny, Historic theatre in Champs-Élysées, Paris, France.

The Théâtre des Folies-Marigny contained 300 seats and faced west toward the Cirque National on the opposite side of Carré Marigny square.

Built in 1848 by the City of Paris for magician Lacaze, the venue underwent several name changes before becoming Théâtre des Folies-Marigny in 1864.

The theatre served as the home of Jacques Offenbach's performances during the Universal Exposition of 1855, establishing its connection to operetta and musical theater.

The structure stood at the eastern end of Carré Marigny until 1881, when it was demolished to make way for a panorama designed by Charles Garnier.

The venue began as a magician's performance space before transforming into a significant operetta theater that introduced numerous musical compositions to Parisian audiences.
