Marseille’s history of opera goes back to the 17th century. This building was only constructed in 1924, though. It has seating for 1800 audience members at a time. The interior design is pretty standard for opera houses - bowl shaped audience area, boxes, balconies and a gallery - but is is lavishly decorated. The audience is known to be kind of snobby and hard to please, but if they are pleased, you can rest assured that it was a very good show. The sightline and the sound design are perfect. The facade of the building is Art Deco. There’s a pleasant grassy courtyard in front where street theatre is performed. There’s a strange black structure here, called the Opéra Noir, the sole purpose of which seems to be to spook you out with creepy sounds and lights. Hop in.
