Through repeated successes, battles and
setbacks, the Comédie-Française is now more than three
centuries old. It is fortified by both tradition and
innovation, supported by its great actors, guided by its
directors, and more than ever passionately committed to
live performance and ready to face the perils of the
stage.As a place of vigorous
confrontation between tradition and innovation, the
institution gathers together many different talents and a
variety of learning, and its history is threefold: the
history of its
company, the history of its repertoire, and the history of its theatres.
