Gabriel Davioud designed the Theatre de la Ville as part of Baron Haussmann's restructuring of Paris. The Theatre de la Ville was built in 1860-1862, on the same plans as the Theatre du Chatelet that faces it. It replaced the former salle du Theatre-Historique located on Boulevard du Temple. It had 1,000 seats at its opening. The Theatre-Lyrique troupe, led by Leon Carvalho and based in the theater, created a number of important French operas, such as Mireille (1864), Romeo et Juliette (1860), and La Jolie Fille de Perth (1860) by Georges Bizet. Also, the second part to Les Troyens (1863) by Hector Berlioz. There were also works by foreign composers like Bellini, Donizetti Mozart, Verdi Wagner and Weber. The theater was taken over by Jules Pasdeloup in 1868. However, it was destroyed on May 25, 1871 during the Paris Commune.

Rebuilt identically in 1874, except for the interior, it was successively renamed Theatre-Lyrique-Dramatique (1874), Theatre-historique (1875), and Theatre des Nations in 1879 and temporarily housed the troupes of the Theatre-Italien and the Opera-Comique before actress Sarah Bernhardt obtained the lease from the City of Paris in 1898 and began performing there in 1899, giving the theater her name. The Isola brothers assumed control of the Sarah Bernhardt theatre on October 16, 1925. In 1935 they teamed up with Louis Rozenberg in order to run the theater which was operating at a loss.

The Sarah Bernhardt Theater was renamed Theatre de la Cite on November 2, 1941 during the German occupation because of the actresses Jewish roots. Charles Dullin, the new director of the theatre, performed the first Jean-Paul Sartre play, Les Mouches. The theater went through several changes after the war. In 1968, it was renamed "Theatre de la Ville". Sarah Bernhardt’s name has recently appeared on the façade.
