The Opera Comédie

The Opera Comédie, at the end of the Place de la Comédie, is a real Italian-style theater with gilding and draperies built in the 18th century but damaged several times by fires; it took on its definitive appearance at the end of the 19th century. Excluding Parisian establishments, it is the largest Italian-style theater in France after the one in Bordeaux.

The Tourist Office regularly organizes visits, which allow you to immerse yourself and to appreciate the sculptures and paintings.

And to have an eye on behind the scenes, thanks to the presence of the manager who alternates explanations and anecdotes.

Montpellier has got two opera houses where the Opéra Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie performs.

With 93 musicians and a choir of 31 artists, the structure has a very wide repertoire which extends from baroque music to contemporary music and which can, depending on whether the program is lyrical or symphonic, choose the best place.

The 2 opera houses also host festivals such as the Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier, Arabesques, the Internationales de la guitare and the Comédie du Rire.
