Constructed between 1901 and 1911, the Hanoi Opera House is a historical structure that hosts a wide range of operatic and classical music performances. Located in central Hanoi’s August Revolution Square, this city landmark was built by the French colonial administration and its design was influenced by the architectural style of Paris’ Palais Garnier opera house. Restored to its former glory, this 900 seat venue is not only a great place to take in performances but also to soak up some local history.
