Opéra | Rue Molière This Municipal Opera House was built on the former Grand Theatre, the inauguration took place on October 31, 1787 in the presence of Marshal Prince de Beauvau, Governor of Provence, whose personal troupe of actors ensured the show. On November 13, 1919, fire ravaged almost all of the building. Today, it remains of the old theatre the peristyle and the colonnade dating from 1787 and a large frieze of Antoine Bourdelle that frames the scene. It was not until November 16, 1920 that the Municipality adopted a reconstruction program. The work was completed in three and a half years under the leadership of the departmental architect Gaston Castel.
