i noticed while thumbing through my book of beaumont's book of ballets that the old PARIS OPERA - the THEATRE DE L'ACADEMIE ROYALE DE MUSIQUE, which burned down in 1873, was known under many names during its history, and most of these titles changed in only a short period of time.
does anyone know the history of this theatre, who built it, and what theatre it replaced?
it was known under many names - THEATRE DE L'ACADEMIE IMPERIALE DE MUSIQUE, THEATRE DE L'OPERA, and so on.
