    All the majesty of Bordeaux is there! Close to the quays, rue Sainte-Catherine, Allées Tournis, Place Gambetta and the pedestrian and restaurant area of ​​the capital of Aquitaine. The opera is worthy of the biggest cities and the arrival of the tram has cleared the cars and left room for the free wandering of those who come to take the time to appreciate one of the most beautiful cities in France👌

    (Translated by Google) After a most deplorable location, the seats faced a wall in a bathtub, a big joke to see a symphony orchestra. A big thank you to the agents who were able to replace us without arguing in the appropriate places. Too bad it is so cramped and the chairs so uncomfortable for a 1:45 concert ... all under a mask. But Camille Pépin's concert followed by Beethoven were most majestic. (Original) Après un emplacement des plus déplorables, les places donnaient face à un mur dans une baignoire, une grosse blague pour voir un orchestre symphonique.. Un grand merci aux agents qui ont su nous replacer sans discuter vers des places appropriées. Dommage que ce soit si exigus et les chaises si inconfortables pour un concert de 1h45...le tout sous un masque. Mais le concert de Camille Pépin suivi de Beethoven etaient des plus majestueux.

    Beautiful site, wasn't able to catch a show during my visit but loved seeing the building regardless. I would love to come back again for a proper show.

    The opera house was built in the 18th century. The building has a very beautiful and richly decorated facade. Unfortunately, we only stayed in Bordeaux for one day, so we didn't see any shows.

  • 5/5 Alia F. 3 years ago on Google
    Attended Beck/ Robin ballet show and it was great, the theatre is nice but not as beautiful as other European theatres like in Vienna or Paris.

  • 5/5 Cyrielle N. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building worth a visit! Even greater if you can attend a show. It is not too big so you have a very intimate feeling in the loge.

  • 5/5 Cally M. 4 years ago on Google
    Very impressive building from the outside and inside. Went to a lunchtime opera - €10 - mainly to view the interior but ended up really enjoying the show as well. Very well patronized by the locals as well who gave a standing ovation and the singer then obliged by doing a number of less "high brow" numbers and the audience joined in with the singing. Quite a treat!

  • 5/5 Avinash T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing theatre in heart of bordeaux city. Beautiful views around the place. Bordeaux tourism is incomplete without visiting the place

  • 5/5 Isabella S. 2 years ago on Google
    Stunning theater in the heart of Bordeaux. Absolutely a place to visit!! The theatre is situated at the end of St.Catherine and, during the Christmas holidays, is near the Christmas market. Well preserved is a must in Bordeaux.

  • 4/5 Scot S. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building and it seems the inside is spectacular but unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to see it. The neighborhood is very nice too. Worth visiting when in Bordeaux.

  • 5/5 Shelby 8 months ago on Google
    I took the Thursday tour in English. I wish I could've seen a show here, but if that also isn't an option for you I would reccommend the tour. This place is stunning and so so interesting.

  • 5/5 Loz J. 7 months ago on Google
    Didn't get to tour, but just seeing the architecture on the outside and in the foyer, amazing, especially when you realise when it was made. Love to return and see more...

  • 5/5 Irina C. 11 months ago on Google
    Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Opera Houses in the world and one of Bordeaux's crown jewels. A "must visit".

  • 5/5 Natasha B. 1 year ago on Google
    A unique experience and highly recommended if visiting Bordeaux, the building is stunning both inside and out with traditional French seating, a treat for the whole family to watch the ballet performance of Cinderella, I would definitely visit again

  • 5/5 Robert B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing architecture, even in the entrance stairway

  • 5/5 Leon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Apart from the outstanding architectural beauty of this building the opera was a splendid version of Madame Butterfly! Well worth a visit!!!

  • 4/5 Ninh L. 1 year ago on Google
    BEAUTIFUL BUILDING - TICKETS SELL OUT FAST! One of the more beautiful buildings in Bordeaux - it's very pretty to look at from the outside. Particularly at night, this is a great place to take photos and videos. If you want to see the Opera or a show, the tickets sell out FAST! So book early and in advance. They do tours of the Opera house, but this is rare and I just missed out on one. So if you want to do a tour of it, you'll have to plan it in advance too!

  • 5/5 Fernando G. 1 year ago on Google
    Classic plain architecture. And yet, pleasing.

  • 5/5 Shai N. 1 year ago on Google
    Impressive building in the heart of the city. If you wanna watch a show, you better book a ticket in advance.

    Didn't go inside so can't give a higher rating but the outside is really pretty, and there's a cool statue outside of a face that looks 3d Surrounded my aged tour groups

  • 5/5 Mark T. 1 year ago on Google
    If you stand in front of this majestic building, take a few minutes to walk in and check out the beautiful entrance & staircase…

  • 5/5 Gergely N. 1 year ago on Google
    We were extremely lucky to have the chance to take part on a tour inside this beautiful building - it is opened for visitors for only two days every year. The concert hall is a gem (though the seats are not from the most comfortable ones), and there is a great view from the balcony.

  • 5/5 Vince G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful theatre. Excellent productions of Mozart's Figaro, Così and Magic Flute in rehearsal when we visited.

  • 4/5 John Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful opera house. Great acoustics. Some seats at the side and higher up can't see the full stage.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent concert, good acoustics and Ms. Rangwanasha's soprano was to die for. Superb!

  • 5/5 Valentina B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful place! We got to get a place on the day, an hour before the show when the final tickets are sold. Lovely experience!

  • 5/5 Pavel V. 4 years ago on Google
    I like the Bordeaux city of France. I have been here for a couple of all might be three days and really had enjoyed the visit. But I have to tell, we were coming on the cruise ship and for some reason the cruise ship couldn't go to the the port of Bordeaux due to the some stupid protect on the bridge. I'm not sure what it was about because the cruise ship was able to work to go there the very same night.

    Beautiful place. To be visiting absolutely

  • 4/5 Tana M. 5 years ago on Google
    A must see if you haven't been yet. This is an amazing venue but I suggest a seat in the front row of a balcony. Seats are small and legroom is at a premium. My husband is just over 2m tall and he was a bit squished. Saw La Fille Mal Gardée which was funny and well done. Took me back to ballets with my mom as a child.

  • 5/5 Edjola S. 4 years ago on Google
    It has a typical architecture of France, with beautiful exterior and interior. It's a special place of Bordeaux which attracts a lot of tourists every day of the year. And also has a great view from the hotel. A must! 👌

    (Translated by Google) It's a beautiful square. You can drink your coffee in the places next to the square and enjoy your time. Due to the pandemic process, it was not possible to attend any events in the Opera building. But I recently heard that the building is open to events. It is one of the places I will visit as soon as possible. This square and the Opera House is one of the halls of the city of Bordeaux. It is beautifully lit for night photography. When you come to Bordeaux, it is one of the places you should definitely visit. It is one of the rare places whose historical mystical atmosphere is still preserved. I would definitely say stop by. It is possible to sit on the steps during the day. Watching people passing by was like a therapy to me (Original) Çok güzel bir meydan. Meydanın yanında bulunan mekanlarda kahvenizi içebilir zamanın keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. Pandemi sürecinden dolayı Opera binasında herhangi bir etkinliğe katılmak mümkün olmadı. Fakat son zamanlarda binanın etkinliklere açık olduğunu duydum. İlk fırsatta ziyaret edeceğim yerlerden birisidir. Bu meydan ve Opera binası Bordeaux şehrinin simalarından olmuş mekanlardan birisidir. Gece fotoğraf çekimi için çok güzel aydınlatılmıştır. Bordeaux'a geldiğinizde mutlaka uğramanız gereken yerlerden birisidir. Tarihi mistik havası hala korunmuş ender yerlerden birisi.. Kesinlikle uğrayın derim ben. Gün içerisinde basamaklarda oturmak mümkün. Yoldan geçen insanları izlemek bir nevi terapi gibi geldi bana
