The Théâtre de Verdure is an open-air theatre in Nice, set within the Jardin Albert Premier. A stone wall anchors the theatre’s open stage. François Aragon designed the theatre, whose amphitheatre seating follows an ancient Greek model beneath the open sky.

Two statues by Victor Nicolas represent Tragedy and Dance above the stage. Palm trees, cypresses, pines, and other Mediterranean plants surround the performance space. The nearby seafront adds sea air and city sounds to concerts and festivals. Artists including Edith Piaf, Prince, Iron Maiden, and Elton John have performed at this venue.

The programme has included rock, jazz, summer performances, and cultural events. The Jardin Albert Premier also contains lawns, fountains, sculptures, and a merry-go-round. A metal sculpture by Bernar Venet stands on the central lawn. The garden once featured an artificial grotto with imitation stalactites and donkey-cart rides for children. The theatre is wheelchair accessible and connects Nice’s cultural life with its Mediterranean garden setting.
