Located at Place du Palais-Royal, 75001 Paris.
The Palais
Royal
began as a small and private
theater
in the residence of
Cardinal
Richelieu. It was
designed
by the
architect
Jacques Lemercier. This
theater
became known by the name of the residence, the Palais
Cardinal
. It was the first theater in
France
with movable scenery wings and a proscenium arch. It's first production was Jean Desmeret's Mirame in 1641.
Following Richelieu's death, the palace became
royal
property. It was then used for courtly
entertainment
. In 1660,
Moliere
and his troupe used the theater for their productions until the
death
of
Moliere
in 1673. After
Moliere
's death,
Jean-Baptiste Lully
used the Palais Royal for his
Academy
of Music and their
opera
productions. The
theater
burned down in 1763. It was rebuilt but burned down again in 1781. The area was then redeveloped into an amusement area by its owner the
Duke
de Chartres. It contained a number of theaters, many called the Palais Royal at various times. To this day several theaters remain in the
area
.
