Olympia (Paris)
Music hall in France
About
The Olympia (French pronunciation: [ɔlɛ̃pja]; commonly known as L'Olympia or in the English-speaking world as Olympia Hall) is a concert venue in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France, located at 28 Boulevard des Capucines, equidistant from La Madeleine, Paris and Opéra Garnier, 300 metres (980 ft) north of the Place Vendôme. The nearest metro and RER stations are Madeleine, Opéra, Havre–Caumartin, and Auber.
The hall was opened in 1893 by one of the two co-creators of the Moulin Rouge venue, and saw many opera, ballet, and music hall performances. Theatrical performances declined in the late 1920s and the Olympia was converted into a cinema, before re-opening as a venue in 1954 with Bruno Coquatrix as executive director. Since the 1960s it has been a popular venue for rock bands.
