Saigon Opera House (also known as Saigon Theater) was designed by French architect Eugène Ferret and was constructed by a French contractor. The building was completed in 1897 during French colonial rule in Vietnam. Ferret designed the Saigon Opera House in a distinctive blend of European and Vietnamese architectural styles. The building’s façade reflects the French colonial and Renaissance revival styles, while the roof is designed to resemble the pagoda roofs commonly found in Vietnamese temples and palaces. The Saigon Opera House has been upgraded and renovated several times over the years, with the most recent refurbishment completed in 1998 in honor of the 300th anniversary of the establishment of Saigon.
One of the most iconic theaters in Hanoi, Vietnam is the Hanoi Opera House, also known as the Hanoi Grand Opera House. It was built between 1901 and 1911, during the French colonial period, and served as the center of French cultural activities in Hanoi. The Hanoi Opera House was designed by two French architects named Harlay and Broyer, who designed the building in a neoclassical style influenced by the Palais Garnier Opera House in Paris, France. The building has a distinctive French architectural style with Italian marble floors, chandeliers, and bronze statues. In 1997, the theater underwent a major renovation and restoration project that restored its original grandeur. Today, it serves as one of the premier venues for the performing arts in Vietnam, hosting a range of cultural events, including operas, ballets, symphonies, and theatrical performances.
