Grand Theatre, Opera house in Theatre Square, Warsaw, Poland
The Grand Theatre features a neoclassical facade with a bronze sculpture of Apollo's quadriga and two main performance halls accommodating 2089 seats.
The theatre, designed by Antonio Corazzi, opened its doors in 1833 with Rossini's The Barber of Seville as its inaugural performance.
