Comédie Française
Arts / Performance Venues, Louvre/Tuileries
Fodor's Review:
Mannered productions of Molière, Racine, and Corneille appear regularly on the bill -- enjoyable if you understand French and don't mind declamatory formal acting. This theater, founded in 1680 by Louis XIV, who was more interested in controlling theater than promoting it, finally opened its doors in 1799 but burned almost to the ground a hundred years later; what you're looking at dates from 1900. The comedienne Sarah Bernhardt, who performed everywhere from palaces in St. Petersburg to tents in Texas, began her career here.
