Auditorium de Bordeaux

The strengths of the Auditorium:

- A pit for 120 musicians and a 220 m2 stage area which can accommodate the operas of Wagner or Strauss as contemporary operas requiring a large orchestra and a great scene.

- An exceptional closeness between the audience and the musicians: the balconies are closest to the scene, no viewer is more than 20 meters from the heart of the orchestra. The place left behind the balconies are like suspended in the air gives the public the impression of being surrounded by music.
