Royal Opera House, India
From series “The Most Elegant Buildings of Baroque Architecture”Year: 1911.
Royal Opera House in Mumbai is the oldest opera house in India. It has been built for 3 years and in 1911 the theatre was officially opened. Notwithstanding that, there were held decorating works for four years. Today this marvellous monument is seen as a complex with the nearby square.
Notwithstanding all attempted measures to the increasing of the theatre profits, in the 1980s the theatre was on the verge of bankruptcy and was closed. The last fashion show was held there in 1993. The empty historical building has begun to ruin and in 2008 the Indian government decided to rebuild it. Today on the ground floor you can see a small shop with great Indian tea and some accessories stores. Next - Saint Andrews Cathedral
