For example, the hall is now fully air conditioned for the sweaty summer time concerts. A welcome improvement, I dare say. Knowing the extent of the history that the space holds really amplifies the need to visit in person. Imagine the vastness of the laughter shared between those walls, the array of bodies that the chairs have held, the satisfaction it brought to so many. Olympia Hall is truly an institution. One that has died and been resurrected over and over….
An obvious one, is it not? What better reason to head to Olympia other than the promise of some of the most renowned acts available at present. The biggest names in music play sold out concerts within the space year round. Due to its extensive holding capacity Olympia is generally the stopping point for all international acts while on their world tours. Tickets are relatively easy to get however it should be noted that the more popular artists tend to sell out in a matter of hours, particularly in season.
Patrons are encouraged to beware of scalpers selling counterfeit tickets on the street side the night of big performances. These events are described by attendees as a spectacle. A true celebration of the French arts that made the city what it is today. Thankfully management of the space does not limit themselves when it comes to selecting acts. The Olympia is always first in line to promote smaller, up and coming artists who may not yet have the backing of the bigger stars.
It is unusual for grand scale concert halls around the world to do this, but Olympia stays true to its roots and is not above headlining much smaller acts as well.
These performances are a mix of both local and international artists and, because of the fan loyalty to the space, tend to draw crowds of adequate proportion. There is truly nothing better than discovering an artist who was previously nowhere near your radar. For this reason it becomes totally acceptable to buy a ticket for any evening at the Olympia, whether you recognize the acts or not.
My favorite thing about Olympia Hall is that it is a space of unlimited inclusion. It is where locals and foreigners come together to share in the art of performance and one of the few places in Paris where your nationality ceases to matter. City attractions have a tendency to become spaces where the tourists flock and the locals avoid like the plague.
Too often as locals we attach stigmas around tourist hubs. I enjoy that this is not the case with Olympia Hall and encourage everyone to bask in the eclectic array of people at least once while in Paris. For the lonely, there are hundreds of new friends waiting to make your acquaintance. The social nature of the surrounding neighborhood also feels the effects of this diverse venue.
By night the bars and restaurants are equally as mixed in terms of local to foreigner ratio. The energy of it all is absolutely wild. Go see for yourself! The Fete de la Musique is an annual event in France that takes place on June 21st of every year. It is sometimes also known as Make Music Day. On this day all citizens of the nation are encouraged to make and play music by any means necessary.
They are expected to take to the streets and parks to do so. We suggest these partner hotels nearby. Olympia, the Most Legendary of Parisian Theaters Located two minutes' walk from the Relais Madeleine, Olympia is the oldest and still active music hall in Paris and is undoubtedly one of the mythical places of the capital. We learn in this video that Bruno Merrick changed the Music Hall logo in The "O" in Olympia is a Parisian symbol and is the design of the capital's periphery.
Arnaud Delbarre describes how, in , the hall was backed up 30 meters and was placed underground. The current location of the bar corresponds to the position of the axis of the foreground prior to work being started. The number of seats is identical, namely , but they are removable to provide an "open pit" configuration and can accommodate 3, people.
We can see the public bar but especially the Bar Marylyn in the loges, also identically rebuilt, which moved Mick Jagger when he saw it for the 2nd time. We also see the billiards room, which was previously above the Olympia, in which there were never any billiards. It was in a deplorable state before the move and was, and still is, used as an audition room.
