Me fascina la historia de la Ópera de Lyon. Nació en el siglo XIX, pero en los años 90 fue completamente reinventada para adaptarse a las necesidades actuales: el edificio original se había quedado pequeño, sin espacios adecuados para ensayos ni una buena acústica. La restauración conservó la fachada histórica y transformó el interior en un espacio moderno y funcional, creando uno de los edificios culturales más singulares de Lyon.

Impresionante edificio en una plaza espectacular. Se puede subir a tomar un café viendo unas vistas muy bonitas

Un edificio muy lindo y una fachada atípica para una opera. Mezcla de estilos clásicos y modernos. La conocimos un día de lluvia pero valió la pena.
