Hanoi Opera House

The Hanoi Opera House is a piece of performing arts architecture that may be found in August Revolution Plaza, near Hoan Kiem Lake and the Vietnam History Museum, at the start of Trang Tien Street. The French began this project in 1901, and it was finished in 1911 utilizing materials that were appropriate for our country's climate and smaller in stature than the Opéra Garnier Theater in Paris. These theaters in the South of France feature a variety of colors and architectural lines thanks to the efforts of two French architects, Harlay and Broyer. Since it was finished, the Hanoi Opera House has served as one of the major cultural hubs of the city, hosting frequent cultural events and artistic performances. Vietnamese theater, as well as symphonic, choral, orchestral, and dance art forms, are honored in the Opera House, which is also where they were first performed.

The first order of business on your visit here is to admire from the outside. Just wait until you step inside if you think it looks impressive from the outside. There are chandeliers, 600 luxurious seats, and a stage appropriate for opera and ballet in this structure that was modeled after the Paris Opera House. A guided tour of the Opera House is an option and is certainly advised.

The Hanoi Opera House hosts symphony concerts, modern dance, bamboo cirque, cultural entertainment performances, and official events. You can tour the interior of the structure, also known as the Cathedral of Art, for 400,000VND. There is a minor show in addition to the tour. If you don't have the money or the time to spend an entire evening viewing an opera or ballet performance, this is a fantastic alternative! It is considered as one of the Best Places to Visit In Hanoi.
