Lille Opera

I had an amazing experience watching a fost opera at lille’s opera. Seating was very cheap, and it was so good. Loved the performance and the architecture of the building itself both from the inside, and from the outside the staff were very friendly, and there were so many staff to help you be guided to your seat. although my seat was cheap still, I could see clearly the stage

Our first opera and it was modern. We had no idea what was happening but enjoyed it none the less despite having restructed view we could see all the actual stage. €13 was too good to miss and so much better than having empty seats. It was packed. The Opera house itself is worth the visit alone! Brilliant evening

I visited the Opéra de Lille today for an evening recital, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment you step inside, the grandeur of the building sweeps you off your feet- from the sweeping red-carpeted staircases to the opulent chandeliers and intricate golden moldings, every corner of the opera house exudes elegance and history. The concert hall itself is breathtaking. Plush red velvet seats, ornate balconies, and a ceiling adorned with a spectacular chandelier set the stage for an intimate and atmospheric musical evening. I attended a recital featuring piano and voice, and the acoustics were absolutely stunning — every note resonated beautifully in the space. The ambiance was refined yet warm, and the entire experience felt like stepping into a different era. Whether you’re a fan of classical music or simply want to experience the cultural heartbeat of Lille, a visit to the Opéra is an absolute must. It’s not just a performance venue - it’s a piece of living art.

A stunning century old building, lovingly restored. The crowds fill the place so make sure to book tickets way in advance. It’s also a nice alternative for a night out from Brussels, as the train takes just 35 minutes to reach Lille.

What a fantastic town is this. For some reason people skip Lille on their way to their holiday destination. Please take the opportunity to stop and visit. The car park at the station brings you into the center within 10 walking minutes. Really a must see !!

Beautiful historical city center ❤️ especially around Christmas time

World wonder , super, must see

What started as an amazing experience ended in total disappointed. The opera house and theatre is really gorgeous and we admired the interior and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We thus expected that the performance would reflect the same. My husband and I attended a Sunday afternoon show that started at 16h and although the performance was ok, the message being portrayed is well understood after an hour and forty minutes and just as you would expect all leave the stage and you think that it is the end of the performance, but one stays behind and continues which felt like ages, in total nudity. This last part of the performance seemed totally disconnected and unnecessary to be honest. I then reread the performance description on the website but no mention of this nudity; what is mentioned is the light effects used on stage. So bottomline we left disappointed and disgusted and as this was our wedding anniversary, it really was not well received.
