There is nothing more striking in Hanoi than looking down Trang Tien Street and seeing the Hanoi Opera House standing strong at the end. Built by the French in 1911, and renovated in the late 1990s, this is an incredible building. The facade is colonial French with pillars and balconies overlooking the city center. The 900-seat opera house plays host to visiting foreign performances as well as Vietnamese symphonies.Reviewed by: Tomas from Honolulu, HI, USA on May 7, 2005





This is truly a beautiful building in a phenomenal city, Hanoi. The best place to see it is from the 6th floor of the Hanoi Hilton.
