Opéra National de Bordeaux - Grand-Théâtre

I took a visit, not an opera performance. The architecture of the building is very interesting and beautiful but the experience was not that pleasant. The guide was late, I had to follow him during all the time (I prefer to take my time to enjoy the place). Even other guide come tell him that we can't stay there in that moment...

The Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux is a stunning building with impressive architecture and rich history. The details inside are truly breathtaking, and it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates classical design. However, we were disappointed that access was very limited—we could only see a small part of the theater instead of exploring more of the beautiful spaces. Still, it’s a must-see landmark in Bordeaux, and if you can catch a performance, it’s probably even better!

A mini Paris opera house . I had a very swell priced box seat for a ballet . Highly recommend. Also there is only one bar so you are not going to get a drink unless you pre reserve it at the beginning !!

Huge building with pillared facade, very impressive, making a statement to Bordeaux whealth. Situated in a square surrounded by cafes

For me it was the best architectural monument to see in Bordeaux... Highly recommended to buy advance tickets if you want to enter inside. Obviously for me the best view was at night when all the lights were lit up.

We were extremely lucky to have the chance to take part on a tour inside this beautiful building - it is opened for visitors for only two days every year. The concert hall is a gem (though the seats are not from the most comfortable ones), and there is a great view from the balcony.

Another historic place overlooked but worth a visit, they have lots of exhibitions over the year so pop in and see you will love the interior it's beautiful best of all it was free

BEAUTIFUL BUILDING - TICKETS SELL OUT FAST! One of the more beautiful buildings in Bordeaux - it's very pretty to look at from the outside. Particularly at night, this is a great place to take photos and videos. If you want to see the Opera or a show, the tickets sell out FAST! So book early and in advance. They do tours of the Opera house, but this is rare and I just missed out on one. So if you want to do a tour of it, you'll have to plan it in advance too!

The name of structure aptly fits its look. With holiday lights projected on its facade, the theater even looked more impressive. We were lucky to get tickets to Giselle before its run ended. While I didn't know anything about the show beforehand, I appreciated the beauty of both the dance and music. The seats we got were not great as I practically had to stand up to even see anything. Overall, I still enjoyed myself despite the non-view of my seats.

Beautiful on the outside and spectacular on the inside, it is one of the most beautiful neoclassical buildings in the city. It was first inaugurated in 1780, and restored in 1991. It is the house of the Opera National of Bordeaux as well as the Ballet National of Bordeaux. If you have the opporunity to see a concert or a ballet, don't miss it. You can also visit the theater for 3 euros.

When I lived in Bordeaux, the Grand Theatre was is disrepair. I remember buying a ticket to see Madame Butterfly and my seat was behind a post, meaning that I never saw the opera, only heard it. This spectacular building has been renovated to the glory of its Neoclassical origin. You can buy a ticket for a tour or if a performance is in progress, make sure to see a performance. Enjoy the beauty of the gem of the city.

Identical experience to Virginie P. Beautiful building but very poor customer service. Mixture of incompetence and arrogance. I paid 49 euros to see an opera buying my ticket online. I had no view of the stage co couldn't see the décor, singers or dancers. Waste of money. No warning when booking that the seat was restricted view (should have read "no view") When I complained some clown suggested that in future I should check with box office as to whether a view was provided with the seat. Based on Virginie P's review this may not even help. Guided tour at 3 euros sounds like better value, as at least you get to see the stage.
