Théâtre de Champagne

Théâtre de Champagne is a theater building in Troyes that combines modern architectural elements with a traditional circus structure. The main hall accommodates over 1000 spectators and is equipped with contemporary sound systems and comfortable seating.

The building originally started as a wooden circus structure in the 19th century but was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1892. Architect Henri Schmit rebuilt it in 1905 with a stronger design.

The theater presents concerts, modern plays, and circus performances throughout the year, reflecting the range of artistic traditions the space has held. Visitors encounter both classical and contemporary productions in the same halls where circus acts once performed regularly.

The venue is situated in central Troyes and includes accessibility features for visitors with reduced mobility. Modern facilities and comfortable conditions make it easy to enjoy performances.

The venue functions as both a regular theater and a winter circus, keeping its original 19th-century purpose alive alongside contemporary performances. This dual role is uncommon and creates a space where circus traditions and modern theater coexist.
