Opéra Royal de Wallonie, Opera house in Liège, Belgium
The Opéra Royal de Wallonie features a neoclassical design with a marble colonnade and arcades on the ground floor of its parallelepipedic structure.
King William I of the Netherlands granted land from a former Dominican convent in 1816 for the construction of this theater, which opened in 1820.
The opera house presents classical productions including works by Mozart, Wagner, and Donizetti, maintaining a permanent company of over three hundred staff members.
Located at 1 rue des Dominicains, the venue underwent extensive renovations between 2009 and 2012, resulting in modernized facilities and restored historical elements.
A statue of composer André Grétry stands before the building, with the musician's heart preserved within the base of the monument since 1842.
