Opéra de Lyon

Lyon’s renowned opera house is where you can see the most spectacular opera and ballet shows Lyon has to offer.

Lyon’s renowned opera house, Opéra Nouvel, is at Place de la Comédie opposite Hôtel de Ville, and is the home of Opéra National de Lyon and the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon; two companies that put on some of Lyon’s most spectacular shows year after year. It was first built in 1831 but was rebuilt several times over the years, most recently by distinguished French architect, Jean Nouvel, after whom it is now named.

Each season includes a selection of classical, original and contemporary masterpieces in the impressive auditorium which has six balconies and over 1,000 seats. They also have another smaller space, the Amphi, where a diverse range of musicians come to perform day or night.
