The Théâtre-Italien de Paris at the time of Fausto

Category :
Date:

At the time of Fausto’s premiere, the Théâtre-Italien was the only permanent foreign-language theatre in France. Specialising in the production of Italian operas sung in the original language, since 1807 it had been under the tutelage of the French state, which reserved the right to appoint directors and charged them with implementing an exacting brief. Nevertheless, this status did not protect the Théâtre-Italien from the zones of turbulence bound up with its modes of governance and the successive venues it occupied.
