Located on Place Broglie within the Grande Île, this building serves as the home of the Opéra national du Rhin. It is a designated historic monument that allows visitors to experience both live operatic performances and period architecture.
Getting There
The venue is situated in the heart of the city. From the central areas of the Grande Île, it is accessible via a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes. For those arriving from the EuroAirport (BSL), shuttle buses or taxis connect the airport to the city center.
