The Théâtre des Mathurins rents two rooms to professionals: the Grande Salle with 403 seats and the Studio with 84 seated places. It stands at 36 rue des Mathurins, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, and organizers can also privatize a performance or the bar for a reception.
Seminars and company events
The theater states that it handles events turnkey, with experienced administrative and technical teams. The Grande Salle is listed for shows, concerts, showcases, previews, filming, shoots, product launches, conferences, conventions, seminars and award ceremonies. The Studio, with 84 seated places, is listed for rehearsals, training sessions, workshops, auditions and theater classes. For a plenary with a stage and a full audience, or for a training day, the two rooms cover very different group sizes.
A company can also privatize a performance as a highlight of its year. The bar is described as a reception space, suited to a cocktail before or after the show. The privatization is reserved for professionals, and a request form on the site asks for the type of event, the desired date and time slot, the company and the number of participants.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not offered. Private events here are professional ones. The bar reception and the privatized performance are the formats closest to a reception for guests.
Rooms and capacities
The Grande Salle is an Italian-style theater on three levels, with 403 seats, praised for its sight lines and the relationship between stage and house. The Studio holds 84 seated places. The capacity of the bar is not stated on the pages supplied. Technical specifications such as stage dimensions, sound and lighting are not published, so request the technical sheet with your enquiry.
Catering
The pages do not describe a catering offer. The bar is presented as the space for a cocktail before or after a performance. Ask the team what drinks service or caterer arrangements apply to your date.
History and setting
The theater opened in 1897. Its Italian layout spreads the audience over three levels around a stage and gives a close view of the performers. It runs a regular program in the Grande Salle and the Studio, including shows for young audiences on weekends and school holidays, so availability depends on the season's calendar and the theater's schedule. Group rates for shows start at ten people.
