Théâtre Mogador
Théâtre Mogador stands in Paris as a music-hall theatre designed by Bertie Crewe and founded in 1913. Its auditorium seats 1,600 people, while British music-hall principles shaped the building’s earliest purpose. Initially called the Palace Theatre, the venue sought British soldiers during the First World War.
The official inauguration took place on 21 April 1919, with Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt among the guests. Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes later shared its stage with afternoon operettas known as Thés Mogador. The Isola brothers reopened it in 1925, bringing American-style productions such as No, No, Nanette. A 1983 renovation restored its original splendour after a brief period under the name Théâtre Cora Laparcerie.
Stage Entertainment acquired the venue in 2005, and it has hosted the Molière Awards several times. Les Misérables, Starmania and The Lion King rank among the productions associated with its stage. A fire in September 2016 damaged parts of the building and delayed the French premiere of The Phantom of the Opera.
