Theatre Sebastopol is one of Lille’s distinctive theatres, housed in a historic building constructed in the early 20th century. The auditorium now accommodates around 1,350 visitors, while its traditional theatre architecture, balcony and proscenium create a close connection between the stage and the audience despite the size of the venue.
Inside, the theatre offers a classic atmosphere, good sightlines and acoustics that are among the venue’s most appreciated qualities. The seating layout and auditorium design work well for a wide range of performances, including theatre, comedy, concerts, dance and other stage productions.
The theatre is located at Place Sébastopol, 59000 Lille, France. République–Beaux-Arts and Gambetta metro stations are within a convenient walking distance, with the final approach to the main entrance continuing through the Place Sébastopol area.
