Grand Theatre
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Tours, The Little Paris
Here you are in front of the Grand Théâtre, the only opera house in the Centre region! Originally, like the famous La Scala theatre in Milan, there was a church here, the Church of the Cordeliers. It was converted into a theater by a private individual, Mr. Bûcheron, in 1796. The municipality bought the theater a century later and renovated it in the style of the Opéra Garnier. In 1883, a fire destroyed most of the building. What you see today is the new theater built in the 19th century after the reconstruction. Since 2002, it has been home to a permanent choir as well as the Centre-Val de Loire/Tours Symphony Orchestra. The building, designed by Stanislas Loison, has been classified as a historical monument since 2000.
