Opera Bastille

The opera house is much more spectacular than I thought. Its maze-like backstage and underground artificial lake have inspired his imagination. The staff are very nice and polite. The interior is very magnificent. It is worth visiting.

It’s not cheap to visit the opera, the Bastille Opera is located in Bastille Square, a fairly modern venue, not to be confused with the opera house in the heart of the city. We watched performances with Russian, French and English subtitles and there was no hard requirement for wearing.

The new opera house built by Mitterrand. The Chinese used to call the Garnier Opera the Paris Opera, but the National Opera is the name of the Garnier Opera and the Bastille Opera. The Bastille Opera is a very modern building, and standing in Bastille Square is easily attracted by its strange shapes and exteriors. The original intention of the opera house was to reduce the burden of performances at the Garnier Opera House, while creating a modern and civilian cultural and artistic venue. It has the most modern multi-functional stage facilities, starring in opera, and every year many of the world's leading opera groups come to perform. I watched a German opera Wozzeck, with English and French subtitles on the stage, but it was exhausting to switch between the stage and the screen above. It was worth a visit if you stayed in Paris for a long time.

The modern geometric cylindrical shape of the Bastille Opera House is highlighted, and the appearance of metal and large transparent windows connects the inner and outer space. The theater hall can accommodate 2,700 spectators. It is conveniently located on the Bastille subway station. There are often many wonderful performances and I am fortunate to have a wonderful opera here.

OpéraBastille is the second largest opera house in Paris. It is also renowned in the European music scene. It is built in a civilian area, with realism and deep architectural bone marrow, and the design concept is low-key and simple, while still modern. It is the "People's Opera" that is proud of ordinary citizens in Paris. Open Monday to Saturday 10:00-6:30. Tickets are 11 euros for adults, 9 euros for elderly and students, and 6 euros for under 19 years old.
