Bordeaux 2011

This spectacular building in Bordeaux with the neo-classical facade and 12 Corinthian style colossal columns is the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux.  It was inaugurated in 1780 and is one of the oldest wooden frame opera houses in Europe not to have burned or required rebuilding.  Today it houses the Opéra National de Bordeaux and the Ballet National de Bordeaux.
