Façade of the former Orsay railway station The théâtre d'Orsay was a theater located on the rive gauche of the Seine , in the 7th arrondissement of Paris [ 1]
It was inaugurated in 1972 in the former gare d'Orsay originally conceived by the architect Victor Laloux in 1898. Jean-Louis Barrault installed a removable wooden structure, and presented there very varied shows.[ 2] Sous le vent des îles Baléares by Paul Claudel , Isabella Morra André Pieyre de Mandiargues , Ainsi parla Zarathoustra Pierre Boulez after the book by Nietzsche , Les Nuits de Paris by Restif de la Bretonne , and also Zadig after Voltaire or The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs George Moore .
However, the station had to be vacated to become the musée d'Orsay . In 1981, the troupe moved to the Palais de Glace which then became the Théâtre du Rond-Point , where Barrault resettled a wooden structure identical to that of the théâtre d'Orsay.
