Visite guidée du Grand Théâtre

Duration: 1h00 - Price: from €9

With its monumental staircase and Italian-style auditorium, listed as a historic monument since 2024, the Grand Théâtre - Opéra de Tours, located in the city's historic quarter, was inspired by its famous Parisian counterpart.
Every year, it presents a season of opera, symphony and children's shows, as well as recitals and chamber music concerts. With its permanent choir, the Grand Théâtre has also been home to the Orchestre Symphonique Région Centre-Val de Loire/Tours since 2002.

This small-group guided tour explores the history and splendour of the venue, exploring the peristyle, the public foyer and the auditorium.
