Between the Rhône and the Saône rivers, at the crossroads of the Terreaux district and the foot of the Croix-Rousse hill — in the heart of Lyon — the Opéra National de Lyon stands as an iconic example of contemporary architecture. Renovated in 1993 by architect Jean Nouvel, the opera house features a striking cylindrical glass dome, glowing red on performance nights, resting atop the historic theater façades dating back to 1831.

Inside this architectural gem, the 1,100-seat main auditorium is nestled within a dramatic suspended black shell, embodying a bold vision of modernity and innovation.

🛗 Elevator access: located outside, on either side of the main entrance. ♿ PMR parking: 4 spaces at the LPA Hôtel de Ville parking facility, 1 space on Rue Joseph Serlin, and 1 space on Quai Jean Moulin. Drop-off near the Opera is possible with a Mobility Inclusion Card.

Opéra de Lyon

A cross-pollination between walking and the blues, EXIT ABOVE, after the tempest / d'après la tempête / naar de storm is a dual return to the choreographer’s roots in gesture and contemporary music. Thirteen performers take us on an escapade that reaches as far as pop.

Opéra de Lyon

The shifting entity of 20 Opéra de Lyon dancers instils its relational and proliferative modes in the mycelium, the underground part of a fungus that extends its filaments so that information can circulate.
