In 1862 during Haussmann's modernization of Paris the Théâtre de la Gaîté of the boulevard du Temple was relocated to the rue Papin across from the Square des Arts et Métiers.〔("History: The Venue, 150 Years in the Core of Paris" ) at the La Gaîté-Lyrique website. Retrieved 11 August 2011.〕〔The new theatre was needed to replace the company's previous theatre on the boulevard du Temple, which had been slated for demolition to make way for the present Place de la République (Banham 1995, p. 120). The Square des Arts et Métiers, located adjacent to the boulevard de Sébastopol, is now known as the .〕 The new theatre, built in an Italian style to designs of the architects Jacques-Ignace Hittorff and Alphonse Cusin, opened on 3 September.〔Simeone 2000, pp. 201, 203; (Théâtre de la Gaîté Alphonse-Adolphe Cusin ), Théâtre de la Gaîté Musée d'Orsay, 2006〕〔("Architectural Project: The Venue" ) at the La Gaîté-Lyrique website. Retrieved 14 August 2011.〕 Within a decade the focus began to shift from melodrama to operetta and opera, so the theatre also came to be known as the Gaîté-Lyrique.〔The shift to operetta is mentioned by Banham 1995, p. 120; the new name is mentioned by Block 1881, (vol. 38, p. 514 ).〕 In the early 1920s Diaghilev's Ballets Russes danced here, and after World War II it was used for musical comedy. In the 1970s attendance decreased, and there were several attempts to find new uses for the building, culminating in 1989 in the construction of a short-lived amusement park, that resulted in the demolition of most of the theatre, except for the facade, entrance and foyer. The latter were restored during a 2004 reconstruction that converted the building into an arts centre, La Gaîté Lyrique, completed in November 2010.〔 ==19th century== Jacques Offenbach was the director of the Théâtre de la Gaîté from 1873 to 1874.〔Lamb 1992.〕 His opéra-bouffe-féerie ''Le roi Carotte'' was first performed here in 1872 and his ''opéra-féerie'' ''Le voyage dans la lune'' in 1875. The opera ''Le timbre d'argent'' by Camille Saint-Saëns was premiered here in 1877, at which time the theatre was briefly known as the Théâtre National Lyrique.〔The piano-vocal score (Saint-Saëns 1877, pp. 1, 3) gives the theatre name as Théâtre National Lyrique. Boston Public Library 1916, (p. 339 ), also gives that name and identifies Vizentini as the director. Harding 1980, p. 202, mentions that Vizentini produced an opera by Saint-Saëns at the theatre. Langham-Smith 1992, p. 874, and Levin 2009, p. 391, say the company name was changed to Opéra-National-Lyrique from 5 May 1876 to 2 January 1878. Levin also says Albert Vizentini was the director of the company from 1 July 1875 to 18 May 1878.〕 ;Premieres * 1872: Jacques Offenbach's opéra-bouffe-féerie ''Le roi Carotte'' * 1874: Offenbach's revised Opéra-féerie version of ''Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the Underworld)'' * 1875: Offenbach's revised Opéra-bouffe version of ''Geneviève de Brabant'' * 1875: Offenbach's opéra-féerie ''Le voyage dans la lune'' * 1877: Saint-Saëns' opera ''Le timbre d'argent'' * 1914: Bianchini's opera ''Radda'' 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「Théâtre de la Gaîté (rue Papin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
