The Reims Opera House (French: Opéra de Reims, IPA: [ɔpeʁa də ʁɛ̃s]), historically known as the Grand Théâtre ("Grand Theater"),[1] was built in 1873 over designs by Alphonse Gosset, in Reims, France.[2] Its architecture was "explicitly inspired by the Paris opera house, then still under construction",[2] especially the terraced roof.[3] "It is notable for its opulent symbolic ornamentation on the theme of music and the lyric arts."[2] The building was burnt down during World War I and rebuilt in 1931–1932 with an interior by François Maille and Louis Sollier.[1] The auditorium's ceiling surrounding the chandelier was painted by René Rousseau-Decelle. The chandelier, 7.5 metres (25 ft) wide, was realized by Edgar Brandt.[4]
