Salle des Concerts Herz

The Salle des Concerts Herz, usually referred to simply as the Salle Herz, was a former concert hall in Paris, located at 48, rue de la Victoire.

It was built in 1838 by the French pianist-composer Henri Herz.

Hector Berlioz conducted the premières of two of his compositions there – the overture Le Carnaval romain on 3 February 1844 and L'enfance du Christ on 10 December 1854.

[3] The Salle Herz was still being used to mount concerts by Jules Danbé in 1874 but was subsequently demolished.
