The **Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise** has announced its upcoming 2025-2026 season, which promises to be memorable for various reasons. Primarily, this season marks the final **programming** curated by Eric Ruf, who will step down as general administrator on August 4, 2025. His departure sets the stage for new leadership as **Cl\u00e9ment Hervieu-L\u00e9ger** takes the helm.<\/p>\n

In a significant development, the programming will unfold partly outside the traditional venue, the **Salle Richelieu**, due to necessary renovations. These renovations will span from January to September 2026, leading to performances in various theaters across **Paris** and its surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the Season<\/h2>\n

The first part of the **season** will be structured in a conventional format, featuring a noteworthy **premiere** in the Richelieu: **”The Dance School”** by **Carlo Goldoni**, directed by Cl\u00e9ment Hervieu-L\u00e9ger. This production aims to showcase the rich comedic heritage associated with Goldoni’s work.<\/p>\n

In addition to the new creation, the season features various renowned classics. One notable production is a **reading** of **”The Seagull”** by Anton Chekhov, interpreted by **Elsa Granat**. This literary classic explores themes of art, unrequited love, and the complexities of human relationships, making it a fitting addition to the season.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the **comedies** of **Moli\u00e8re** will take center stage with performances of **”The Misanthrope”** and **”The Scapin Deception”**. The former, directed by Cl\u00e9ment Hervieu-L\u00e9ger, focuses on the struggles of authentic relationships, while the latter, under the guidance of **Denis Podalyd\u00e8s**, promises **witty humor** and clever deception that Moli\u00e8re is celebrated for.<\/p>\n

Exploring Other Theatrical Works<\/h2>\n

The **Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Vieux-Colombier** will host an exciting revival of **”Forced Marriage,”** another work by Moli\u00e8re. Directed by **Louis Arene**, this production will offer an explosive interpretation, likely to appeal to contemporary audiences searching for **relatable themes** within classic texts.<\/p>\n

Adding a **whimsical** take on traditional storytelling, **Johanna Boy\u00e9** will present **”Nutcracker or the Kingdom of the Night,”** inspired by **E.T.A. Hoffmann**. This creation promises to be a spectacular visual experience, potentially designed to delight both children and adults during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Conclusion and Future Implications<\/h2>\n

As Eric Ruf’s tenure draws to a close, the **2025-2026 season** at Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise may very well set the tone for the future direction of this iconic institution. The unique blend of classics and new works reflects a **commitment** to preserving traditional theatrical forms while also embracing modern interpretations and mediums.<\/p>\n

With its innovative approach to staging and programming, the upcoming season at the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise promises an exciting experience for theater aficionados. Audiences can look forward to the revival of cherished classics alongside fresh narratives, embodying the essence of theatrical evolution. Whether inside the walls of the Richelieu or in various Parisian venues, this season stands poised to captivate, challenge, and enchant theatergoers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
