Opera house

Strasbourg has an historic opera house, but once again I could not find any dance performances to see while in town. This is a good illustration of one of the challenges in doing research on the artform - the difficulty just seeing different works.

Here is the Opera House, at the eastern end of Place Broglie, a few blocks north of the Cathedral.




Here's another view of the Opera House, from the western end of Place Broglie, which was developed in the 18th century.





On the south side of this very pretty plaza is the town hall, once a residence of some counts.
