Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

The first stone was laid on 20 June 1864.

As an architect with eclectic tastes, Joly-Leterme was inspired by the style of the Louis XVI period, which was contemporary with the hall he replaced. He borrowed in particular from the neoclassical colonnades of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux and the Madeleine in Paris. On the left, the colonnade overlooking the Loire has a rather successful disappearing effect; the monument is not rectangular, but narrows towards the east.

The hall opens onto the Place de la Bilange, which it dominates with its monumental proportions.

The eastern façade, dedicated to the musicians and the entrance for the artists, has a more intimate appearance. It is narrower, with five instead of seven arches. This façade has often changed in appearance.

The hall is in the "Italian style", a type of hall that was fashionable during the Second Empire.

Large reception areas are planned: a grand staircase overlooking the Place de la Bilange, a spacious foyer on the first floor, a wide peristyle accessible to all, and galleries on the upper floor providing access to numerous rooms.

In the middle, the concert hall is reduced to a small, high space.

The stage, of good dimensions, has been rebuilt several times.

The red-gold tones of the hall, restored in 1963, have come to life.

This 19th-century "Italian-style" theater is somewhat reminiscent of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux with its imposing colonnades.
