Moulin Rouge show

Image result for Moulin Rouge dancers The Moulin Rouge cabaret was founded in 1889 by Joseph Oller (1839-1922) and Charles Zidler (1831-1897). It opened on October 10 at the foot of the “Butte Montmartre” (Montmartre Hill) and was intended to serve as a venue for a wide range of audiences.

It was also at this time that the famous version of the quadrille, now known as the French Cancan, saw the light of day. The Moulin Rouge serves drinks to guests while they either admire the shows or even shake a leg on a specially designed dance floor. With its unconventional architecture and extravagant decorations – including an elephant set up in the garden – the Moulin Rouge is bound to be a magnet for the fun-loving crowd. The Moulin Rouge was completely destroyed by fire in 1915 and only rebuilt 10 years later with almost 1500 seats. It was also at this time that it was converted into a nightclub, thus capturing the splendor of years gone by. In the 1950s, the Moulin Rouge regained its cabaret character and famous stars such as: Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour and Bourvil make guest appearances at the Moulin Rouge. Today, new revues are staged again and again, which are more reminiscent of a gourmet dinner with up to 80 performances and dancers. Some of our costumes are original costumes from the Moulin Rouge, which is known for its excellent costume workshop.
