Reopening with new Covid-19 safety measures and procedures
The Lyon Opera House is pleased to announce it is reopening its doors to the public from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.,Tuesday through Saturday.
As always, we aim to make your visit as enjoyable and as safe as possible. To this end, we have put in place a series of measures in line with the government’s Covid-19 safety guidelines:
• VIsitors should sanitise their hands on entering the opera house, using the gel provided.
• Masks must be worn at all times throughout the building, including the entrance hall and the auditorium.
• Visitors should follow the directions indicated by the floor markings and keep to the designated waiting areas.
• The cloakroom remains closed.
• All seat rows will be used, with a one-seat gap between each ticket sold. However, people in the same booking group (family members or friends) can choose to be seated next to each other *.
* In this case, please arrive at the opera house at the same time as seats cannot be held.
These measures are subject to change, depending on the health situation and government recommendations to combat the spread of Covid-19.

A little service makes for a great night
Cloakroom : At a show, you never know what to do with your jacket, coat or bag. Especially when applauding. Luckily enough, for shows in the Grande Salle, a cloakroom is available free of charge on level +1. NB: the cloakroom is accessible via the escalators but not via the lifts.
Cushions : Concerned about your comfort in general, and your sitting position in particular, the opera puts a cushion at your disposal free of charge during each show. All it will cost is dropping into the cloakroom and submitting proof of identity.
Taxis : So as not to have to worry about what happens after the show, and about getting home easily, the Opera provides you with the possibility to book a home-bound taxi even before the show. On arriving, all you have to do is apply to the reception team, who will take care of it for you.
