Opéra de Dijon, Opera house in Dijon, France

The Grand Théâtre features a neoclassical exterior with Italian-inspired interior design elements, including ornate decorations and traditional horseshoe-shaped seating arrangement.

Architect Jacques Cellerier initiated the construction project in 1787, with the building's first stone placed in 1810 and final completion achieved in 1828.

The opera house maintains two performance venues: the Grand Théâtre and the Auditorium, presenting operas, ballets, and classical music concerts throughout the year.

The Grand Théâtre accommodates 692 spectators, while the modern Auditorium, constructed in 1998, provides seating for 1,611 attendees.

The venue specializes in presenting rare Czech operas and works by Jean-Philippe Rameau, a composer with strong connections to Dijon.
