Peletier (sometimes referred to as the Salle de la rue Le Peletier or
the Opéra Le Peletier) was the home of the Paris Opera from 1821 until
the building was destroyed by fire in 1873. The theatre was designed and
constructed by the architect François Debret on the site of the former
Hôtel de Choiseul. Due to the many changes in government and management
during the theatre's existence, it had a number of different official
names, the most important of which were: Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de
Musique (1821-1848), Opéra-Théâtre de la Nation (1848-1850), Théâtre de
l'Académie Nationale de Musique (1850-1852), Théâtre de l'Académie
Impériale de Musique (1852-1854), Théâtre Impérial de l'Opéra
(1854-1870), and Théâtre National de l'Opéra (1870-1873).
