The Hanoi
Opera
House,
or
the Grand
Opera
House
is
an opera
house in
central Hanoi, Vietnam.
It
was
erected
by
the
French
colonial
administration
between
1901
and
1911.
Hanoi
Opera
House
is
one
of
three
opera
houses
that
the
French
built
during
their
time
in Indochina,
the
others
are Haiphong
Opera
House and Municipal
Theatre in
Ho
Chi
Minh
city.
It
was
modeled
on
the Palais
Garnier,
the
older
of Paris's
two
opera
houses,
and
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
architectural
landmarks
of
Hanoi.
The
main
architectural
style
of
the
Opera
House
is Neoclassicism.
As
mentioned
before,
Hanoi
Opera
House
was
modeled
on
the
Palais
Garnier
but
with
a
smaller
scale
and
using
materials
that
are
suitable
with
the
environment.
After
the
departure
of
the
French
the
opera
house
became
the
scene
for
several
political
events.as
well
as
the
scene
of
street
fighting
during
the
fight
for
Hanoi.
The
Hanoi
Opera
House
provides
the
names
for
the
neighboring Hilton
Hanoi
Opera
Hotel which
opened
in
1999,
as
well
as
for
the
MGallery
Hotel
de
l'Opera
Hanoi,
which
opened
in
2011.
For
historical
reasons
associated
with
the Vietnam
war,
the
Hilton
Hanoi
Opera
Hotel
was
not
named
the Hanoi
Hilton.
