l'Opéra de Reims (Reims Opera House), Champagne-Ardenne, France.

---

"Inaugurated in 1873, the opera house of Reims was originally known as le Grand Théâtre. Its name, however, was officially changed to l'Opéra de Reims only very recently. The beautiful edifice was designed by the architect, Alphonse Gosset, who followed the eclectic style in fashion at the time (similar to Opéra Garnier in Paris). In WWI, the theatre suffered severe damage, but it was subsequently restored with an Art Déco interior, though the façade remained faithful to the original design. The theatre continues to be the city's largest and most important theatre and opera venue. #ixzz1ufI8vhzY
