Toulouse for the cultured tourist
Whether we’re talking about theater, opera or classical concerts, Toulouse has plenty of things to offer all year long. Ticket prices in Toulouse vary depending on what you want to see and temporary exhibitions are generally not included in the museums’ entrance fee.
The major venue for opera music in Toulouse is the famous Theatre du Capitole, in the Place du Capitole. The quality of the shows here rivals that of its Parisian counterpart. Other music treats may be savored at La Halle aux Grains (Place Dupuy), Home of Orchestre National du Capitole or at Zénith de Toulouse (11, avenue Raymond Badiou).
If you’re interested in seeing shows of modern or classical dancing in Toulouse, we strongly recommend Le Ballet du Capitol, in Place du Capitole or Le Centre de Développement Chorégraphique at 5, avenue Etienne-Billières. Both locations will provide excellent levels of choreographic performance.
For theatres in Toulouse, go to the Casino Théâtre Barrière de Toulouse, at 18, chemin de la Loge. Another hot spot for good plays is Théâtre du Chien Blanc, at 26 rue Compans.
All in all, the culture in Toulouse is in full swing and you’re free to ride the wave.
