Theatres in Caen
Caen is a city with 1,000 facets. After a day of sightseeing and discovering Normandy, what could be better than relaxing in front of a good show? Concerts, theatres, artistic performances... Caen has made culture a way of life. Here's a look at the 5 main venues in Caen.
Caen's Zénith can hold nearly 7,000 spectators. Caen's largest concert venue plays host to famous French and international stars.
But you can also see comedians, musicals, ballets... Every year, the Zénith puts on 70 shows, so you're bound to find something to suit you!
Located in the heart of the city, less than 5 minutes' walk from the Best Western Royal Hôtel, the Théâtre de Caen is the only opera house in Lower Normandy.
All genres are represented here: operas, ballets, plays, dance, circus, film-concert... With shows that encourage curiosity and discovery.
Located just a stone's throw from the port, the intimate Théâtre de l'Ouest sees a host of comedians come and go throughout the year.
Stand-up, one-man shows and boulevard comedy: you'll see the new talents and the big names in comedy, who you can meet after the show.
The Théâtre de l'Ouest also offers magic, mentalism and hypnosis. Bring the whole family: some shows are especially for children.
Eclectic programming and a relaxed atmosphere are the hallmarks of Le Cargö. Every year, the Caen scene plays host to up-and-coming, independent and innovative artists.
If you're passionate about music and love new sensations, you'll want to go there with your eyes shut!
Over 30 years ago, the Big Band Café took up residence in a former cartridge factory in Hérouville-Saint-Clair - less than 20 minutes' drive from Caen.
Around fifty concerts are scheduled there from September to June, featuring emerging and established artists from today's music scene.
Whether you're into pop, rock, reggae, hip-hop, electro or blues, you'll enjoy a festive evening in a setting that's as unusual as it is friendly!
