In 1981, the Ministry of Culture sponsored the project to open the doors to rock and popular music. The ministry entrusted a study to Daniel Colling for a room of great capacity in the city.
Architects Philippe Chaix and Jean Paul Morel, together with show professionals, invented the Zénith concept. The Zénith is designed to allow the presentation of variety shows to a large audience, under optimal technical conditions.
Through curtains, its capacity varies from 2,200 to 9,000 people. Spectators can indifferently be welcomed in an all-seated formula or in "sit-stand" for rock shows and rap. The stage is completely removable so that the stage space can accommodate other devices. The acoustics is studied to allow an optimal restitution of amplified musics. The shows are organized by producers and not by Le Zénith.
