The Place Stalingrad and the opera, in Limoges

The Place Stalingrad hosts the opera of Limoges, one of the largest of France. The Limoges audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this major cultural space, dominated by the great lyrical hall of the town, on a square whose name recalls a decisive battle of the Second World War.

The opera and the square of memory

You are on the Place Stalingrad, from the name of this bloody battle that took place during the Second World War. This confrontation, one of the most terrible of the conflict, opposed the German and Soviet armies and made countless victims, before marking a decisive turning point of the war; numerous French towns named a square of this name in memory of this event. In front of us stands the opera of Limoges, one of the largest of France. This fine lyrical hall, that can host a large public, is a high place of the cultural life of the town. It offers a rich programme of operas, ballets, concerts and shows, perpetuating the tradition of the performing arts and making the lyrical and musical creation shine in all the region. The opera testifies to the attachment of Limoges to culture and to music. The Place Stalingrad, a pleasant urban space in the heart of the town, is thus at once a place of memory and a cultural hub, where history and artistic life mingle.
