Théâtre Saint-Georges

The Théâtre Saint-Georges is marked by a pale, understated stone facade that hides a bright, red-velvet auditorium inside. Built in eighteen twenty-nine by the architect Anthime Delbée, it started as a private mansion before becoming a theater in the nineteen twenties. During the German occupation of Paris, the actor Sacha Guitry continued to stage his plays here, famously keeping the house lights burning and the atmosphere light, even as the city outside lived under a strict curfew and dark tension.
