Lille's Opera: A Cultural Landmark
Lille's Opera, originally constructed between 1907 and 1913, redefines the city's cultural scene. Did you know it was officially inaugurated in 1923?
Designed by architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier, this neo-classical opera house is not only a testament to early 20th-century architecture but has also played a significant role in the arts post-renovation. It reopened in 2003 as part of Lille's status as a cultural capital, housing various performances while being part of the European Network for Opera, Music, and Dance Education (RESEO).
