La Gaîté Lyrique is a digital arts and modern music centre opened by the City of Paris in December 2010, located at 3-5 rue Papin in the 3rd arrondissement.〔("Bienvenue" ) at the La Gaîté Lyrique website. Retrieved 14 August 2011.〕 The centre is on the site of the former Théâtre de la Gaîté, incorporating the facade, entrance and foyer of the original theatre. The auditorium of the theatre was demolished in 1989 for an amusement park. The refurbishment lasted from 2004 to 2011 under the architect Manuelle Gautrand.〔(2004-2011 'The Awakening', accessed 12 August 2011 )〕 The new General/Artistic Director is Jérôme Delormas. ==History== Following Haussmann's modernization of Paris and the destruction of the theatres on the boulevard du Temple, the last of a succession of playhouses called the Théâtre de la Gaîté was built in the rue Papin. It opened on 3 September 1862.〔(Théâtre de la Gaîté Alphonse-Adolphe Cusin ), Théâtre de la Gaîté Musée d'Orsay, 2006〕 The building was designed by the architects Jacques-Ignace Hittorff and Alphonse Cusin, with an 1800-seat auditorium decorated by Félix Jobbé-Duval. Concentrating on operettas, it also became known as the Gaîté-Lyrique〔Block 1881, (vol. 38, p. 514 ).〕 and was at its height during the Second French Empire. Jacques Offenbach was its director from 1873 to 1874,〔Lamb 1992. In 1921, 1923, and 1925 the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev performed in the theatre (Simeone 2000, pp. 201, 203).〕 After the Second World War, the theatre enjoyed success under its directors Henri Montjoye and his wife Germaine Roger. In 1974, the ''Carré Silvia-Monfort'' and the first circus school based themselves here for a time.〔Doussot et al 2009, (p. 24 ).〕 The theatre became bankrupt and closed. In the early 1980s the dome of the main auditorium was threatening to collapse, and it was reinforced with concrete. During the following years it was largely destroyed and transformed into an amusement park, , by Jean Chalopin.〔("Historical: The Venue" ) at the La Gaîté-Lyrique website. Retrieved 11 August 2011.〕 The main auditorium, holding 1800,〔 and the orchestra pit large enough for 60 musicians〔Faris 1980, p. 169.〕 were among the parts of the building that were lost. The amusement park was only open for a few weeks.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Gaîté Lyrique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
