The Châtelet is a well known theater in the center of Paris. Build in the the middle of the 19th century, it was early dedicated to a special kind of entertainment called “opérette“.
It’s a kind of “easy” opera, mixing songs, speeches and sometime ballet. The most famous operette played in the Théatre du Châtelet was the “Chanteur de Mexico” (the singer from Mexico) by Luis MARIANO.

Famous choregraphers like Diaghilev or dancers like Nijinsky or Anna Pavlova helped to build a reputation of creativity for this place. Musicians like Stravinsky, Malher, Strauss, Tchaikovsky and Debussy came to lead their own creations during the early 20th century.
