Comments:
This opera house seats just over 2700, with each seat designed to have an unrestricted view of the stage which I very much liked compared to other theatres.
The opera we watched was called 'La Petite Renarde rusée' (The Cunning Little Vixen).  We had no idea what the script was about, but at least there was some entertainment with the children performers (click here for more info on this opera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cunning_Little_Vixen).
