Lyon Opera House, France
Completely rebuilt in 1993 within the exterior facade of the 18th century historic building
Architect : Jean Nouvel
1300 seats
Note the seriously overhanged seats at the rear of the balconies. Certainly the only solution to fit 1300 seats in such a small an intimate space. For those seating at the rear (under the overhangs), the feeling is not that intimate though...
The Opéra Garnier is one of the Paris National Opera's two home venues in the city. It was built from 1861 to 1875 on a commission of Napoleon III, along with the Place de l'Opéra on which the building stands, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Avenue de l'Opéra. Inaugurated as "le Nouvel opéra de Paris" (the New Paris Opera), the venue became known as the "Palais Garnier" within the first decades of its existence, acknowleding the plans and designs of its architect Charles Garnier. The Paris National Opera now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), although the Library-Museum is no longer managed by the Opera and is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
