Opened in 1862, the 2,500-seat Theatre du Châtelet was for a while the biggest in Paris. Its remarkable acoustics and steep incline, which offers a great view of the orchestra, served some of the most famous composers of the late 19th century. Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski, Edvard Grieg, Richard Strauss, Claude Debussy and Gustav Mahler conducted their own masterpieces here.
