The spotlight is on the comedians
To give a more ethical touch to the venue, the salons were renamed in homage to feminine personalities who left their imprint: Galerie Adami is rebaptized Joséphine Baker, the Salon des Glaces becomes Juliette Gréco, the Wagner Salon is now Nadia and Lili Boulanger, while the Salon Debussy is Barbara, studio A, Cole Porter, and studio B, Anna Pavlova. The future of the Châtelet is sure to be radiant…
