description The military and economic dominance of France in Europe waned in the 18th century, but paradoxically, that century was also the golden age of cultural influence of France on other countries of the Old World. A large number of courts established theatres that were often perceived as local versions of the Comédie-Française, because they replicated the same model of maintaining close ties between the court and the stage, understood as a place that was supposed to promote and reinforce the official model of civilisation. Yet at the same time, the Comédie-Française as well as other “official stages” of 18th-century France (the Opéra, Comédie-Italienne, and the Opéra-Comique later on) that enjoyed royal support (mostly through monopoly, direct subsidies, and sometimes through preferential terms and conditions of lending theatre halls) became increasingly effective in breaking their ties with Versailles and becoming bourgeois theatres to a larger extent. Eighteenth-century courts of Europe did not pay attention to the intricacies of the system of ties and connexions (between the court and the bourgeois audience, between the official stages and the unofficial ones) that had been shaping the theatrical life of the French capital of the period. Instead, they mostly relied on simplified and obsolete 17th-century beliefs about the theatre at the French court, while the theatre on the Seine was entering a completely new phase of development.
