The Parisian art of living means making the most of the joys of the capital. It's well known that Paris is a party. And among the cult spots that make up the soul of the City of Light, theaters and concert halls are part of this precious heritage that has left its mark on the capital's history. The Alhambra, for example, is one of these iconic venues, linking the Paris of yesterday with that of today.
But don't be fooled by its contemporary architecture, for although the current Alhambra theater was inaugurated in 2008, its history is actually far more ancient than that. Today's venue in Paris's 10th arrondissement, not far from the Canal Saint-Martin and Place de la République, is just a hundred meters from the historic site of the original theater, dating back to 1856. At the time, it was one of the capital's cult music halls, which kept Paris alive until 1956.
Producer Jean-Claude Auclair turned the former hall of theAssociation fraternelle des cheminots français into the new Alhambra, reviving the spirit of this legendary venue. The new Alhambra has a capacity of up to 800 spectators, and features a succession of concerts, comedy shows and other cultural events.
