Origin and history

The Theatre Edward VII, also known as the Theatre Edward VII - Sacha-Guitry, is a theatre located 10, Place Édouard-VII, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. It is part of a real estate operation carried out between 1911 and 1913 by architect Henri Nénot, including a luxury hotel, offices, shops and this theatre. The façade, designed by the British architect Sprague, is harmoniously integrated with the architectural ensemble of the square, between Madeleine and Opera Garnier. Since 1996, the island, which also includes Olympia, has undergone extensive renovation.

The theatre has had a succession of notable directors. From 1916 to 1929, Alphonse Franck managed it, followed briefly by Louis Verneuil in 1929 and Maurice Lehmann from 1930 to 1931. In 1931, the Twentieth Century Fox transformed the theatre into a cinema until 1940, before it became a theatre under the direction of Robert Gallois. The following decades saw figures like Jean-Michel Renaitour, Pierre Béteille (1944), Elizabeth Hijar (1951-1958), Raymond Rouleau, Claude Génia, and Wilfrid Dodd (1966).

In the 1970s and 1980s, the theatre was directed by personalities such as Simone Valère and Jean Desailly (1976-78), Pierre Bergé, then Jacqueline Cormier from 1981 onwards. Julien Vartet took over in 1989. After a closure in 2000, the theatre reopened in 2001 under the co-direction of Bernard Murat and Jean-Louis Livi, then under the exclusive direction of Bernard Murat from 2007. Since 2018, Pascal Legros has been its director.

Partly listed as a Historic Monument since 1977, the Edward VII Theatre sees its facades, roofs, vestibule, fireplace and room protected for their decor. The architect Henri Nénot, master of the overall real estate operation, marked this place with its urban integration and architectural elegance, typical of the first quarter of the twentieth century.
