Patronage and events

The Comédie-Française has long-standing international ties: the Troupe has performed in over 80 countries to date. Recently, many iconic shows from the Répertoire have traveled abroad: Le Malade imaginaire in China (2011), Les Damnés in New York (2018) and London (2019), and Hécube, pas Hécube throughout Europe (2024).

The Comédie-Française is also now open to English-speaking audiences for all performances in the Salle Richelieu, thanks to a new surtitle system: the Smart Glasses.

In 2025, the Comédie-Francaise launches its International Friends, to bring together ambassadors of French culture and passionate theatregoers of all nationalities.

With the Fondation pour la Comédie-Française, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, you will see the direct impact of your generosity while enjoying tax deductions, regardless of your country of residence.
