    The Lavoir opened its doors in 2012 but is already an institution of the alternative cultural…read morelandscape of the Croix-Rousse... and Lyon in general. They do a mix of parties, theatre, exhibits, take part in festivals - all that at reasonable prices, you pay a 2€ membership fee per year because it's an association plus either pay what you like (often for parties) or a set ticket price for plays etc. The venue itself is worth going for, a former public wash and bath house, still complete with vats for washing clothes and an industrial feel. The monthly Arm Aber Sexy party is great (first Saturday of the month), the people are a queer-hetero-hipster-alterno mix, which makes for a great atmosphere, the music is often good, ranging from electro to disco-ish. Absolutely recommended if you're looking for a queer-friendly party with a laid-back, dancy DYI feel (the drink selection is small but cheep and the speakers sometimes die at the end of the night) and you don't mind an early night (they close at midnight because of the residential area).

    From the owner: En un peu plus de deux ans d'existence, Le Lavoir Public a gagné le pari d'imposer sa marque, son…read morerythme et son style en réussissant à mêler création contemporaine, formes expérimentales, nouveaux langages du siècle et activités festives. La nouvelle Collection automne-hiver poursuivra donc cette ambition, à l'instar de ce mois de septembre : création littéraire avec Chloé Delaume qui présentera pour la première fois à Lyon son nouveau projet, du théâtre iconoclaste, un week-end européen de performance présenté en écho à la 16ème Biennale de la danse en partenariat avec le Goethe Institut, une exposition truculente. Et bien sûr du clubbing et des fêtes. D'une part parce qu'au Lavoir, la fête peut aussi être un geste artistique et créatif, et aussi, vous le savez, car notre économie en dépend, c'est aussi dans son mélange des genres que Le Lavoir trouve les moyens d'exister, grâce à vous. Nous continuerons donc à exciter votre curiosité, à vous faire découvrir des formes singulières, à vous surprendre là où vous ne vous y attendiez pas en rendant accessibles à chacune et chacun des formes ambitieuses, comme autant de facettes d'un monde agité par ses nombreuses mutations.

    Disclaimer: It's been 7 years since I've been to Lyon. So plenty may have changed in that time…read more I visited the Lyon Opera twice. Once for the tour of the opera house and once for the performance of Falstaff. The tour was excellent. I attended the one given in English, to the dismay of my professor. The tour takes you throughout the opera house, explaining the history of the building, the unique architecture, and the companies that use it. The building is an interesting blend of classic and modern. The performance space is actually suspended from the ceiling for optimal acoustics, since connecting to the foundation would have left is susceptible to the vibrations from the metro that goes almost directly underneath. One of the highlights of the tour is seeing the ballet practice studio at the top, with it's amazing light and views of the city. I would check the website for time and cost. I believe it was free or there was only a minimal fee (we were college students, after all, so it's not like we could spend a lot). The performance of Falstaff (by Verdi) was great. They do have supertitIes (in French, obviously), so that you can follow along. I particularly like that OdL had full versions of the libretto printed with the Italian on one side and the French on the other for 5€, since I'm nerdy enough to want to follow along. The little orange light that is on the back of each seat (and in front of each seat) shed just enough for me to glance at the copy during the performance, comparing the Italian and French. Then again, I prefer French and Italian operas to German operas, and I might not have been so intrigued had it been a German opera. Tickets were reasonably priced for decent seat (again, we were college students). During intermission, the refreshments for sale are in one of the older portions of the building that overlooks the Place des Terreaux. Great views, and of course, much better wines than what we're used to drinking and our performing arts centers in Atlanta. #Yelp365 - 182/365
