During the colonial period, an Opera House was built by the French in Ho Chi Minh City. The building was designed by the best French architects of the 19th century. Interestingly, many of the decor and furniture elements were created in France and then shipped ready-made to Saigon. Hanoi also houses a large Opera House, built in a classic colonial style.
The Opera House in the city of Hai Phong has an unofficial name — the Grand Theater. It was also built during the colonial period.
