After 200 days of closed doors, due to Covid-19, the Olympia reopened to the public with a concert by Brigitte Fontaine, Sunday evening, in a seated configuration, with physical distancing and wearing a mask.

The room with the famous red letters had specified on its social networks that there would be no cloakroom, no bar, no intermission, or first part.

The public was called upon to "present themselves by constituted group (nine maximum) to be assured of being placed together".

A seat will separate each entity (couple, family, group, etc.).

At the end of the show, spectators were asked to wait in their seats "to be accompanied to the exit" by the staff.

The "Queen of kékés" even plans to return to the Olympia in March 2021.

During the health crisis, the Olympia hall did not remain inactive.

About twenty French artists were back on stage for a charity TV show, recorded without an audience.
