Bühnentechnik nicht mehr rekonstruirbar, Untermaschinerie verbat, Obermaschinerie existiert nicht mehr. La salle « a été restaurée entre 1952 et 1957. On a alors délibérément sacrifié la cage de scène bien que toute la machinerie du XVIIIe ait été intacte. Cette fois, on a profité des travaux pour dégager les locaux techniques et remettre en état les cinq étages de dessous de scène. On compte sur le mécénat pour les 1,5 million de restauration de la machinerie », dit Frédéric Didier, architecte en chef des monuments historiques. (English)
