About

Tucked along the edge of Brussels Park, the Théâtre Royal du Parc is a historic gem that has been captivating audiences since 1782. Originally built as a complement to the nearby Vaux-Hall, the theatre has weathered centuries of political change, from Austrian rule to French occupation and beyond. Its elegant neoclassical façade conceals a vibrant cultural space known for its French-language productions, with a strong emphasis on comedy and classic repertoire. Over the years, it has hosted everything from vaudeville and operetta to contemporary reinterpretations of theatrical staples. Today, under the direction of Thierry Debroux, the theatre continues to blend tradition with innovation, offering a dynamic programme that appeals to both loyal patrons and new generations. With its intimate setting, rich history, and central location facing the Belgian Parliament, the Théâtre Royal du Parc remains a cornerstone of Brussels’ performing arts scene—a place where heritage and creativity take centre stage.
