Opéra de Saint-Étienne, Opera house and cultural center in Saint-Étienne, France
The Opéra de Saint-Étienne features two performance spaces: the Grand Théâtre Massenet with 1,200 seats and the Théâtre Copeau accommodating 300 spectators.
André Malraux inaugurated the building in February 1969, marking a significant step in France's cultural decentralization program and regional artistic development.
The venue produces new operatic works each season through its dedicated workshops for set construction and costume creation, maintaining high production standards.
The opera house provides special pricing for students under 26 years old and maintains accessibility features for visitors with disabilities throughout the facility.
The building's circular auditorium combines technical excellence with superior acoustics, while its roof design stands out against the Jardin des Plantes landscape.
