Initially, this place was the "Roller Coaster" of the creator of "Moulin Rouge" Oller. The Olympia hall appeared in 1893, the peak of popularity came with the advent of the impresario Bruno Coquatrix, who secured the status of a concert hall with a capacity of about 2000 spectators in 1954 for the Olympia. The voices of the most famous French performers Edith Piaf, Dalida, Gilbert Beco, Charles Aznavour and others sounded here, it was a time of incredible popularity of the French style in the stage with the Grand Orchestras of Franck Pourcelle, Paul Marie, Raymond Lefebvre, alas, left in the past! Now of them, perhaps, only Aznavour remains! Modern "stars" as an accompaniment need only one drum or its electric counterpart.→
