Théâtre Beaumarchais

The Théâtre Beaumarchais in 1877

The Théâtre Beaumarchais was a theater on the Boulevard Beaumarchais , in the 4th arrondissement in Paris.

history

In 1825, the vaudevillists Anténor Joly and Ferdinand de Villeneuve founded a theater on Rue Saint-Antoine, later renamed Boulevard Beaumarchais, within sight of the Bastille , next to which was the now defunct Porte Saint-Antoine . So they gave the house the name Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Antoine . Vaudevilles and Féries were successfully given.

In 1835, Nestor Roqueplan was the founding director of the new building on 25 Boulevard Beaumarchais, still called Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Antoine , in whose place the theater was to exist until it was finally demolished.

In 1842 the comedian Alphonse Geniez took over the house and gave it the name Théâtre Beaumarchais for the first time.

From 1842 to 1849 the house was officially called Opéra-Bouffe Francais , but was still under Beaumarchais. The next operator then named the theater Théâtre Fantasies-Parisienne .

The house was closed for renovation work throughout 1855.

In 1864 the hall was demolished in order to create a larger and more practical venue, but also to adapt to current tastes.

The last name change, again in Théâtre Beaumarchais, was not to take place until 1878. A final renovation followed in 1888 until the building was demolished in 1894 and a residential building was built on it.

Well-known authors were performed at the Théâtre-Beaumarchais, which was therefore quite successful. Henry de Kock , Eugene Grangé , Paul Foucher and Edouard-Louis-Alexandre Brisebarre wrote for the theater, among others .
