Théâtre des Célestins

The Théâtre des Célestins (French pronunciation: [teɑtʁ de selɛstɛ̃]) is a theatre building on the Place des Célestins in Lyon, France. It was designed by Gaspard André, and inaugurated in 1877, then again in 2005. Alongside the Comédie-Française and the Théâtre de l'Odéon, it is one of few theatres with over 200 years' continual usage in France. It is now a municipal theatre directly run by the City of Lyon. It has a contemporary and classical repertoire as well as producing new work.
