Olympia - Paris Nightlife

Charles Aznavour and other big names appear in this cavernous hall. The late Yves Montand performed once, and the show was sold out 4 months in advance. Today, you're more likely to catch Gloria Estefan. A typical lineup might include an English rock group, Italian acrobats, a French singer, a dance troupe, juggling American comedians (doing much of their work in English), and the featured star. A witty master of ceremonies and an onstage band provide a smooth transition. Performances usually begin at 8:30pm Tuesday to Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 5pm.
