Sal Le Peletier or Opéra Le Peletier

The Opéra Le Peletier was a Parisian opera house that operated from 1821 to 1873. It was located at 12 rue Le Peletier (Paris 9) and was situated on the site of part of the gardens of the Hôtel de Choiseul.

History

The theatre was designed and built by architect François Fabbert, and it served as the residence of the National Opera of Paris during its operational years. Due to changes in government and management, the theatre had several different official names:

* Royal Academy of Music (1821-1848)
* Opéra du peuple (People's Opera) (1848-1850)
* National Academy of Music (1850-1852)
* Imperial Academy of Music (1852-1870)
* National Opera Theatre (1870-1873)

Location

The location chosen for the construction of the Opéra Le Peletier was part of the gardens of the Hôtel de Choiseul. The hotel itself was assigned to the opera administration, and the address of the opera house was 12, rue Le Peletier.

History of the Theatre

The theatre's history is marked by a significant event: on February 13, 1820, Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, the son of King Charles X of France, was stabbed to death at the front of the previous Paris Opera house. This incident led to changes in government and management, which affected the theatre's official name.

Destruction

The Opéra Le Peletier was destroyed by a fire on August 28, 1873. The destruction of the theatre accelerated the completion of the construction of the Palais Garnier, which succeeded it as the main opera house in Paris.
