The Opera de Lyon is one of France's most artistically adventurous opera companies, performing in a spectacular building that pairs a preserved 19th-century neoclassical facade with a boldly modernist interior designed by Jean Nouvel. Since its dramatic 1993 renovation, which doubled the building's volume by excavating below and adding a barrel-vaulted glass roof above, the Opera de Lyon has earned renown for innovative staging and a strong commitment to contemporary repertoire.
