Théâtre Hébertot
Théâtre Hébertot stands in Paris’s seventeenth arrondissement, where performances unfold beneath a mansard roof. Its main stage seats 630 spectators. French and English productions share the programme, ranging from comedies to tragedies across two performance spaces.
The venue opened in 1838 as the Théâtre des Batignolles, then became the Théâtre des Arts in 1907. In 1940, it took the name of playwright and journalist Jacques Hébertot. A smaller stage, l’Petit Hébertot, joined the 630-seat auditorium in 2001.
Jean Anouilh, Eugène Ionesco and Samuel Beckett have brought their work here, alongside Simone Signoret, Jeanne Moreau and Isabelle Adjani. Art Deco interiors create an inviting setting beneath the building’s late-nineteenth-century mansard silhouette. From outside, the façade resembles a giant music box.
