Genesis of a Production at the Salle Richelieu

  6 months before

      The Stage Director and the scenographer seek the Managing Director's approval for the set models which must meet the specific requirements of horseshoe-shaped theatres like the Salle Richelieu. These include offering the widest angle of vision on all sides, not hindering the movement of the fire curtain, and meeting security standards. Moreover, due to alternating performances, sets must be designed so that they can be set up and taken down quickly, along with two or three others backstage.
