Traveler reviews
G Mac
★★★★★9 months agoThis is a wonderful old Theatre built in the late 1700s. The outside architecture is like the Parthenon. The interior of the theater is beautifully appointed and richly decorated. It has fought years within the auditorium. It is shaped like a horseshoe in front of the stage, and we were fortunate enough to buy tickets to see the ballet. A wonderful experience with a brilliant troop of dancers. There are guided tours available to book and I highly recommend visiting this beautiful building.

★★★★★2 years agoFor me it was the best architectural monument to see in Bordeaux... Highly recommended to buy advance tickets if you want to enter inside. Obviously for me the best view was at night when all the lights were lit up.
