Under the impulse of, among others, Peter Benoit, Mayor Jan Van Rijswijck ordered the erection of a new building. After the demolition of the Criée, a covered market hall, which moved to the Van Wesenbekestraat, the building of the later Royal Flemish Opera was completed in neo-baroque style between 1904-1907. The official inauguration took place on October 17, 1907, and the building was finally completed in 1909. From 1907 the name Flemish Opera was officially used, and from 1920 Koninklijke Vlaamse Opera.
