Creative Stage

Behind the Velvet Curtain: The Lido’s New Creative Engine
What almost no one notices is that the Théùtre du Lido isn’t just reopening with big titles — it’s quietly positioning itself as Europe’s new incubator for hybrid musical formats. By programming Cabaret, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Titanique, Hello, Dolly! and an immersive show like I Will Survive, the Lido is testing a model that blends classic Broadway craft, French cinematic heritage, and interactive performance design. This mix doesn’t exist anywhere else in Europe right now. If the experiment succeeds, Paris could become the place where the next generation of musicals — immersive, cinematic, and pop‑cultural — are born before touring the world.
