Included on the list of participating locations are some of the biggest names in Parisian theater, like the Théâtre des Variétés on the Grands Boulevards of the Théâtre du Ranelagh, just a short distance from the Eiffel Tower. In a dozen different partner theaters across the capital, shows are surtitled in English just above the stage, with Spanish and Italian options available upon request. With Theatre in Paris, the entire theatrical world is opening up with real-time translations. Previously, the Opéra Bastille was the only local establishment to offer surtitles in English. Finally, everyone can experience shows like a local in the City of Light, be they classics, contemporary pieces, or musical comedies. But that's all about to change thanks to the Theatre in Paris startup, which offers 'surtitles' - or high-quality translated subtitles projected above the stage - in a dozen different Parisian partner theaters. Until now, non-Francophone visitors preferred to go to the cabaret or the opera, which presented fewer language barriers. There's just one catch: for the most part, unless you've mastered the French language, it's been difficult to fully appreciate the marvels waiting behind the red curtain. Good news for non-French-speaking tourists and theatre-lovers: in Paris, experience shows like a local with the help of English subtitles! Discover the startup Theatre in Paris.Ī city of art and culture, Paris has so much to offer its visitors: magnificent historical monuments and world-renowned museums, as well as beautiful shows and plays in top-tier theatres.
