HAIPHONG OPERA HOUSE

In the downtown area, work on the Opera began in 1904 and it was inaugurated in 1912, during the period of French colonization, with materials imported from the metropolis. The design of the building was inspired by the architecture of the Opéra Garnier. The ceiling is decorated with floral frescoes in the rococo style that highlight the names of famous writers and artists. The room can accommodate 400 spectators. The Opera has been recently renovated, it is no longer used for performances, but rather for meetings.
