Inaugurated in 1913, the TCE was born thanks to Gabriel Astruc, a renowned impresario of the time. \u00abFully built in concrete by the Perret brothers, the building was designed to be an immense cultural hub divided into three distinct parts,\u00bb says Michel Franck. \u00abThe Grande Salle for operas and ballets, the Com\u00e9die for plays, and the Studio for fine arts right at the top.\u00bb <\/p>\n

\r\n <\/i>\u00a0Go behind the scenes of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\n

The TCE quickly became an iconic creative space. \u00abThe year it opened, the world\u2019s first showing of Igor Stravinsky\u2019s Rite of Spring caused a scandal,\u00bb says Michel Franck. \u00abThe 1920s saw performances by the Royal Swedish Ballets. Next year we will be celebrating the 100-year anniversary with a reproduction of Honegger\u2019s Skating Rink featuring the original set design by Fernand L\u00e9ger. Varese\u2019s Deserts then made a huge impact in 1954. After renovation work in 1988, the site became a leading name in its field. The space was designed to welcome both concerts and operas, which is extremely rare.\u00bb
\nAfter being appointed director in 2009, Michel Franck refocused on fresh creations and contemporary operas. \u00abI wanted the program to combine big stars and young singers,\u00bb he says. \u00abBy operating as a private theater, we enjoy a subsidy from the French Public Financing Institution which owns the property. This has enabled me to develop the repertoire to include more original creations and bel canto productions, offer young people initiatives with the Participative Opera program, and provide a reasonable pricing policy.\u00bb
\nWith Haendel\u2019s Messiah directed by Bob Wilson, Salome by Strauss revisited by Krzysztof Warlikowski, and a creation from the Royal Swedish Ballet directed by Nicolas Le Riche and set to Debussy\u2019s The Toy Box, next season is set to be eventful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
