Théâtre Des Galeries
About

Opened in 1847 within the elegant Galeries Royales Saint‑Hubert, the Théâtre Royal des Galeries is one of Brussels’ most iconic cultural venues2. Designed by Jean‑Pierre Cluysenaar, it blends Italian‑style elegance with Art Deco touches from its 1951 renovation, including red‑and‑gold velvet décor, a monumental chandelier, and a ceiling fresco by René Magritte2. With 850 seats, it offers an intimate yet grand setting for a repertoire that ranges from classic playwrights like Molière and Shakespeare to contemporary Belgian works and its celebrated end‑of‑year satirical revue2. Operated by the Compagnie des Galeries and subsidised by the French Community of Belgium, it remains a vibrant hub for drama, comedy, and cultural exchange, just steps from the Grand‑Place.
