Two Of Paris’s Most Important Theatres Will Go Dark For Two Seasons

“The Théâtre de la Ville and the Théâtre du Châtelet … will close for extensive renovations at the end of the 2016 season, darkening the houses for one and a half to two years. The theaters, which face each other on the Place du Châtelet, next to the Seine in the heart of the city, were designed by Gabriel Davioud and constructed between 1860 and 1862.”
