Paris, the City of Light, pulsates to the rhythm of nearly 140 theatres and venues, offering a kaleidoscope of artistic productions throughout the year. Whether you're a fan of light-hearted entertainment or grand dramas, the Parisian stage promises an escape to suit your desires: from enchanting ballets and majestic operas to grandiose musicals, not to mention the high-flying acrobatics of circuses, energetic concerts and hard-hitting stand-up comedy.
The greatest international works and the most intimate French creations come to life in legendary venues.
Shows are regularly performed in the original language with French subtitles. Some venues are equipped for the hearing impaired (Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, Opéra national de Paris, Comédie-Française, Théâtre National de Chaillot, etc.). Finally, foreign audiences can also enjoy Parisian theatre programming thanks to the projection of English surtitles for certain shows.
