About

The Odéon Theatre, known since March 1990 as Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, is a French theatre in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Inaugurated in 1782, he initially welcomed the troupe du Théâtre-Français. Since September 1971, it has been one of six French national theatres.

Its current director is Julien Gosselin (since 15 July 2024). On the architectural level, it is an Italian theatre with neoclassical facades. It has been classified as historical monuments since 7 October 1947.

His story was punctuated by: two fires, in 1799 and 1818; the public creation of the Marriage of Figaro in 1784; or the direction of Jean-Louis Barrault and the occupation of the premises during the events of May 1968.
