The Beginnings

In 1903, a sumptuous playhouse opens its doors. With its grand staircase, gold trimmings and balustrades, this monument is a unique architectural gem.

The Meeting Place for the Performing Arts

Throughout the years, the biggest names in music, music hall and vaudeville grace the stage of this great theatre hall.

It becomes a favourite for showing movies, and the venue of choice for concerts, galas and receptions.

Those were the golden years, full of splendour and excitement.

The Dark Years

The 1970’s mark the beginning of an unfortunate decline. After being converted into a movie theatre, it is eventually abandoned in 1982. The curtain falls and remains down for 10 long years. The magic had vanished leaving only darkness and regret.

The Spirit Relives

1990: hope is renewed in the hearts of those nostalgic
for the golden days.

1992: Le Capitole is meticulously restored
to its former glory.
