National Opera of Bordeaux

🧩National Opera of Bordeaux 👍 It is a theater in Bordeaux, France, which opened on April 17, 1780. The designer of the theater was the architect Victor Louis (1731-1800), who won the Prix de Rome for designing this building. Louis's famous works also include the Royal Palace and the Théâtre Français in Paris. 🥰 The National Opera of Bordeaux is regarded as a temple of art and light, with a neoclassical facade. The 12 giant columns of the portico are Corinthian style, and the 12 statues on the top are 9 Muses as well as Juno, Venus, and Minerva. 📝 In 1871, the National Assembly of the French Parliament was once located in this theater. In 1991, the interior of the theater was restored to its original blue and gold colors. The National Opera of Bordeaux is one of the oldest wooden-framed opera houses in Europe that has not been burned down or needs to be rebuilt. 🧐 Today, the theater houses the Bordeaux National Opera and the Bordeaux National Ballet. Since 2021, every December, the Bordeaux Grand Theatre holds a month-long light exhibition, adding a lively atmosphere to Bordeaux's winter. #FrenchLife #ArchitecturalDesign #Bordeaux #BordeauxTravel #BordeauxWine #Homestay
