The Odéon Theatre, Paris, late 18th century

Located in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, the Théâtre de l’Odéon is now one of France’s six national theatres.
Opened in 1782, it was originally home to the Théâtre-Français company.
Architecturally, it is an Italian-style theatre with neoclassical façades.
Its history has been marked by: two fires (in 1799 and 1818); the public premiere of Beamarchais’s The Marriage of Figaro in 1784; and the occupation of the premises during the events of May 1968.
