Paris, France: Opéra Bastille

You have to admit that Paris is a city of culture. One opera house would be enough for most cities. Paris has two.

This, as you might guess, if the newer of the two.

The Opéra Bastille opened in 1989 right by the place where the Bastille stood 200 years earlier. The place seats about 2,700 and is the home of the Paris National Opera. The ballet and concerts are held there as well.
