    A little history

    Michel Franck Editorial for 2024-2025 Season

    C’est avec émotion que j’écris ce quinzième et dernier « édito » pour notre brochure de saison ! Au fil des années, le temps s’accélère, et dire que ces quinze saisons ont passé à la vitesse d’un éclair est un euphémisme.

    Merci à tous ceux qui font du Théâtre des Champs-Elysées le joyau qu’il est aujourd’hui, merci de leur confiance et de leur soutien, leur fidélité, leur dévouement. Je pense naturellement aux équipes autour de moi, aux artistes, à la Caisse des Dépôts et la Gouvernance du Théâtre, à nos théâtres coproducteurs en France et à l’étranger, à nos fidèles et nombreux mécènes (particuliers ou entreprises), à nos producteurs privés… et bien évidemment à vous, le public, sans qui ce métier ne ferait pas sens, ce métier dont le seul but, à mon humble avis, est de donner du plaisir au plus grand nombre d’entre vous !

    From yesterday to today

     

    The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is one of the most elegant performance venues in Paris. Designed in 1913 by a group of artists (Henry Van de Velde, the Perret brothers, Antoine Bourdelle, Maurice Denis), it was the first Parisian theatre to be entirely built of reinforced concrete, and has perpetuated for the past century a tradition of eclectic programmes of a high standard (opera, recitals, orchestral concerts, dance). Its opening is still vividly remembered for the ‘scandal’ of the premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps, whose impact on the public derived as much from Stravinsky’s music as from Nijinsky’s choreography. The artistic adventure of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées has been distinguished by the presence, for over one hundred years now, of the most prestigious creative figures in the history of music, opera and dance.

    « les chroniques du Theatre des champs-elysees » collection


    The aim of the “Chroniques” collection is to explore current programming throughout the season in parallel with the history of the Théâtre by looking at an artist, work, repertoire or theme. Each issue comprises a text with a preface by prestigious writers in the field or performers, lavish illustrations, and a selection of audio archives in collaboration with Ina, the national audiovisual institute (accessed via QR codes).
