The Moulin Rouge recently announced News that will delight Parisians, Tourists, and Heritage Lovers: the Iconic Wings of the Famous Cabaret will once again spin, after Several Months of Inactivity following their Fall on the Night of April 24-25, 2024. This Restoration marks an Important Symbolic and Technical Milestone in the History of the Moulin Rouge. Installed in 1889, the Red Wings, perched at the Top of the World's most Famous Cabaret, had practically never stopped spinning for over a Century until the Incident in the Spring of 2024.
Seeing the Moulin Rouge's Wings turn again is giving back to Paris One of its Most Beautiful Symbols. It's a Tribute to our History, to our Artists, and to all those who have made the Moulin Rouge a Place of Dreams and Celebration since 1889, declares Jean-Jacques Clerico, President of the Moulin Rouge.

On this Occasion, the Cabaret Artists were in the Street in Costume to celebrate Together the Grand Return of the Spinning Wings, to the Rhythm of Music, Feathers, and Sequins.

* The World Famous Cabaret opens Its Doors
On the October 6th, at the Foot of Butte Montmartre, the Atmosphere was Pretty Festive: a New Music-Hall was opening in the Jardin de Paris, the Moulin Rouge, and it wasn’t going unnoticed. The public came in Mass to Place Blanche, to discover this Extravagant Place with its Huge Dance Floor, Mirrors everywhere, and Galleries that were the Last Word in Elegance, to mix with the Riffraff and Girls of Easy Virtue, in a Garden decorated with a Big Elephant with Rides on Donkeys for the Ladies’ Pleasure. There was such a Wild Atmosphere that the Show was not only on the Stage but all around: Aristocrats and Louts in Caps had Fun Side by Side, in an Atmosphere of Total Euphoria.

* The Quadrille, a Prelude to the French Cancan
In 1850, Céleste Mogador, a Leading Dancer at the Bal Mabille – which later on became the Mabille Orchestra of the Moulin Rouge – invented a New Dance, the Quadrille: Eight Breathtaking Minutes in Perfect Harmony with Offenbach as Undisputed Master of Music. A Boisterous Rhythm, Balance, Flexibility, on the Verge of Acrobatics and the Quadrille Girls in their Titillating Costume turned the Heads of the High Society of Paris.

* Frou Frou, Frisson, Fascination, Fantastic, Frénésie… Each One succeeded the Others, until the Unforgettable Formidable, the Revue of the Centenary, for which the Public is still Enthusiastic Today. Crowned Heads, International Bigwigs, Stars of Show Biz… all of this High Society met up on Place Blanche on the 12th February 1988, to celebrate the 100-Year Anniversary of this Venerable Institution dedicated to Feast and Pleasure… wishing it a Long and Joyful Life.
