Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

French concert venue, opened in 1913. It hosted the Ballets Russes for its first season, staging the world première of Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps on Thursday May 29, 1913, thus becoming the celebrated location of one of the most famous of all classical music riots. Also houses two smaller stages; Comédie Des Champs-Elysées (601 seats) and Studio de la Comédie des Champs-Elysées (230 seats). At the end of the 1950's, one of the stages doubled as a recording studio by day, complete with its own lacquer cutting facilities on the seventh (French sixth) floor.
