Cyrano de Bergerac in Paris

This theatrical production brings Edmond Rostand's classic play about the legendary French novelist, playwright, and duelist Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac to the stage in Paris. Audiences can expect a vivid portrayal of Cyrano's wit, bravery, and unrequited love, set against the backdrop of 17th-century France.

The play draws on Cyrano's real-life exploits, including his service in the guards during the campaigns of 1639 and 1640, his notorious dueling, and his friendships with literary figures like Charles Coypeau d'Assoucy and Théophile de Viau. The character Roxane is based on Cyrano's cousin, and the siege of Arras in 1640 features prominently, where Cyrano suffered a neck wound.

Attendees will experience a blend of romance, comedy, and tragedy, with the iconic balcony scene and Cyrano's eloquent speeches. The production captures the spirit of Rostand's drama while honoring the historical figure who inspired it.
