The Troupe inaugurates its new performance hall in the Faubourg-Saint-Germain (today the Odéon), built for the Comédie-Française by the architects Peyre and de Wailly, with an innovation: the parterre audience is seated.
Goethe's Iphigenia in Tauris enters the Repertoire imposed under the German occupation, with a scenography by Daragnès. This is the beginning of German dramatic art at the Comédie-Française, a tendency which will only come to flourish in the 1970s.
