The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, designed by Auguste Perret and founded by Gabriel Astruc, is one of the masterpieces of Art Deco and was named after the Champs-Élysées, which is a five minute walk away. The theatre opened in 1913 to provide a venue for contemporary dance, music and opera, featuring Ballets Russes, concerts devoted to Beethoven, and the most renowned French composers, including Camille Saint-Saëns, Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and Vincent d'Indy. Today, it is home to the French National Orchestra and the Lamoureux Orchestra, featuring operas, concerts, ballets, contemporary dance and pop events each season.
