Lyon National Opera House
This 300-year old structure's glass dome has become a landmark
attraction in Lyon, situated between the City Hall and the Rhone
River. The first five levels of the Lyon Opera House are
underground while the six higher levels are encased in vaulted
glass. The hall seats 1,200 people and boasts six
vertically-stacked balconies overlooking the orchestra level. This
Italian-style hall is lined with black wood and gold detail, and is
home to the Lyon Opera Ballet company and the world-renown Opera
House Orchestra. The acoustics are so good that it currently makes
more recordings than any other French opera house, and has released
award-winning opera CDs including 12 world premieres, ballets and
symphony performances.
