The Grand Theatre in Bordeaux was designed by architect Victor Louis and inaugurated on 7th April of 1780. Its façade (composed of a portico with 12 Corinthian columns), its impressive vestibule, its numerous statues testify about its Neoclassical aesthetics. Its monumental staircase has inspired Charles Garnier to realize those at the Paris Opera. The theatre hall is in colors of royalty: blue, white and golden. Underneath the stage, there is still preserved machinery from the 18th century. Being a seat of the National Opera of Bordeaux directed by Marc Minkowski, the Grand Theatre offers a vast drama, dance and music program to public every season. (English)
