French opera to shut for three years
OperaThe mayor of Strasbourg has announced that the Opéra national du Rhin will undergo a complete reconstruction from 2026 to 2029 (plus overruns). The company has been told to seek out other venues.
Jeanne Barseghian called it: ‘A great day for our city, for the future of opera and more generally for opera and choreography in Strasbourg, France and Europe. We are going to carry out a vast renovation and restructuring project (…) in order to transform our charming municipal theatre into a contemporary opera house at the height of our European capital.’
