Strasbourg

Strasbourg is the capital of the Grand-Est region of France and is most widely known for hosting a number of important European institutions. It is also famous for its beautiful historical centre - the Grande Île - which was the first city centre to be classified entirely as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Strasbourg is the seat of internationally renowned institutions of music and drama:

  • The Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg, founded in 1855, one of the oldest symphonic orchestras in western Europe. Based since 1975 in the Palais de la musique et des congrès.
  • The Opéra national du Rhin
  • The Théâtre national de Strasbourg
  • The Percussions de Strasbourg
  • The Théâtre du Maillon
  • The "Laiterie"
  • Joshy's house - a venue for performance poetry and freestyle urban music.
  • Au Zénith

The Roman camp of Argentoratum was first mentioned in 12 BC; the city of Strasbourg which grew from it celebrated its 2,000th anniversary in 1988. The fertile area in the Upper Rhine Plain between the rivers Ill and Rhine had already been populated since the Middle Paleolithic.
