The Celestins was named after a religious order that was occupying the space for more than 300 years. That's quite a run, as they say on Broadway.
The facility was turned into a theater and was opened for business in 1792. Napoleon even went there for a show. A new building was needed because of an 1871 fire, and such a facility opened in 1877. It's stood up pretty well since then.
