The Conservatory sits behind a gate topped with the stone busts of famous playwrights, standing in contrast to the quiet residential streets of the ninth arrondissement. This building once served as the site of the royal music school under King Louis the Sixteenth. During the French Revolution, the school transitioned into a state institution for drama. Students here spend their years training in the same high-ceilinged halls where Moliere’s plays were first canonized as the foundation for the French stage.
