Hanoi Opera House
The Hanoi Opera House, the largest theatre in Vietnam, is situated on Trang Tien Street near the Red River and east of Hoan Kiem Lake. Its construction started in 1901 and was completed in 1911. Previously the site was a big pond, adjacent to the city gate of Tay Long (also called Tay Luong) of the ancient Thang Long capital. The Hanoi Opera House is the same architectural style as the Opera House in Paris, France. Some foreign architects said that due to being built nearly 300 years after the Paris Opera House, the Hanoi Opera House avoids superfluous architectural details, which make it more magnificent and attractive
