The Théâtre de la Mer is an open-air theatre situated directly on the Mediterranean Sea in Sète. Constructed in 1964, it was designed by architect Jean Balladur and initially intended as a venue for theatrical performances during the summer months. Over time, its programming expanded to include concerts across various genres – notably jazz, world music, and classical – as well as dance and other performing arts. The theatre’s unique location offers audiences views of the sea alongside the stage presentation. It’s a significant cultural venue for the region of Occitanie and hosts a yearly festival dedicated to musical performance. The structure itself is notable for its concrete architecture designed to withstand coastal conditions.
