History
This was built on the site of the first Ambigu-Comique, which was destroyed by fire in 1827. It opened with melodrama on 22 Jan. 1831 and had a successful career, catering mainly for a local audience with short runs of patriotic and melodramatic plays by the Cogniard brothers, Comberousse, de Kock, Theaulon, and others. In 1834 the great actor Frederick had one of his first successes at this theatre in his own play Robert Macaire. When the Boulevard du Temple was demolished in 1862 a new Folies-Drama-tiques was built in the rue de Bondy, which became a home of light musical shows.
