Théâtre des Délassements-Comiques

On 14 July 1789, the day of the storming of the Bastille, Plancher Valcour tore down the gauze curtain in his theatre with the cry of "Vive la liberté!"

Her new theatre was known as the Spectacle des Acrobates de Madame Saqui, but it closed in 1832 and was replaced with Dorsay's Théâtre du Temple.

With Haussmann's renovation of Paris the building on the boulevard du Temple was slated for demolition, and the company relocated to the 26 rue de Provence on 30 May 1862, finally closing in January 1864.

[2] The troupe re-opened in 1873 in the building of the second Théâtre des Nouveautés (on the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin) and continued to operate until 1878.

[2] Robert Planquette's 1-act operetta Paille d'avoine was presented on 12 March 1874,[9] as well as Hervé's La noce à Briochet on 26 April 1874.
