The Palace of Laughter - Paris

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Geoffrey Wheeler visits Paris to tell the story of the famous Folies-Bergeres. The theatre opened its doors in 1860 and quickly gained an international reputation for quality. Although the Folies-Bergeres has recently revamped its image as a straight theatre, its history as one of Europe's finest music halls continues to draw visitors from all over the world.
