Lille Opera

Just strolling by, enjoying the beautiful architecture on a quick visit to Lille.

Loved it! The place travels you back in time. There is a really beautiful and cosy atmosphere in this majestic building. Suggested for a spectacular evening.

Beautiful building, accessible. The staff is very helpful and agreeable. The opera I went to see, La Chauve-Souris by J. Strauss was fantastic.

Stunning place. Take some time to book tickets for a concert or any type of performance. It will deff be worth it

Beautiful buildings, great spot for pictures and walk with friends, dogs or children

Excellent dance program for 21/22. I will be here several times this year. Check their program!

It was an outstanding performance by the musicians who gathered there I loved it very much.

Great place with a lot of terraces and cafés...

Absolutely loved every second of being in the opera. The performance was amazing and the staff was smiley, arranging and very helpful. Thank you for a great first opera experience in Lille :)

Beautiful place, beautiful insides, so lovely, misleading entrence, it was on the side and not the front stairs, was magical.

A neo-classical opera house, built from 1907 to 1913 and officially inaugurated in 1923. In 1903 fire destroyed the previous Lille opera house, designed by Lille architect Michael Joseph Lequeux and built in 1785. For the replacement city officials chose architect Louis Marie Cordonnier by competition. Cordonnier's Belle Époque design features an elaborate pediment relief by sculptor Hippolyte Lefèbvre, and two flanking bas-relief panels Alphonse-Amédée Cordonnier and Hector Lemaire. The interior includes work by sculptor Edgar-Henri Boutry.
In July 1914, while not quite completed, the Germans occupied the city during World War I and commandeered much of the furniture and equipment of the Opéra to furnish the other opera in Lille, the Theatre Sebastopol. After four years of occupation, the building was restored and opened its doors again in 1923 for a rededication as the Grand Theatre and a "première française".
In 1998 the theatre's physical condition required an emergency closure, in mid-season. Renovations evolved into a more ambitious project to improve the building's functional capabilities for the public and for performing artists. This project was complete in time for Lille's year as European Capital of Culture in 2004.

Beautiful place, rather small in comparison with operas from larger cities. Very good audibility, great performances. I definitely recommend it !
