'While it has been forgotten, the theatre is in an almost perfect state,' says the head of the Fontainebleau Palace, Jean-Francois Hebert.

The restored imperial theatre at the Fontainebleau palace in Fontainebleau some 60 km south-east of Paris.

It opened in 1857 but was used only a dozen times, which has helped preserve its gilded adornments, before being abandoned in 1870 after the fall of Napoleon III. The UAE capital already hosts the Louvre Abu Dhabi, opened by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and President Emmanuel Macron in 2017, the first foreign institution to carry the name of the great Paris museum.

Having such a theatre was the desire of Napoleon III’s wife Eugenie. But after the defeat, his capture in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 and the declaration of France’s Third Republic, the theatre fell into virtual oblivion.
