Bonard Boulevard (now Lê Loi)

This boulevard begins from the Municipal Theatre and cut perpendicularly the Charner Boulevard to finish on Eugene Cuniac Square where was the railway station.

The Opera or Municipal Theater

Théâtre Municipale de Saïgon Citroën Traction Bonard Boulevard from the Theater

The Municipal Theater was built in 1910 by the architecture firm of Félix Ollivier, Ernest Guichard, and Eugène Ferret. Hosting theater companies from Paris or divas just passing through, it enlivened somewhat the city in which the elite got bored in the evening. It was inaugurated in the presence of Prince Waldemar of Denmark.
In the architectural style of the Third French Republic, the façade is inspired by the Petit-Palais in Paris. The interior appointments are well-equipped with perfect acoustics and lighting. The building includes a general-seating area and two balconies, for a total of 1800 seats.
Décor, inscriptions, and furniture were designed in France by famous French artists and sent to Saigon.
In 1943 a part of this décor was removed during the Japanese occupation.

Assemblée Nationale Saigon

For the 300th anniversary of the founding of Saigon the city government had a part of the façade’s décor reconstructed.
Last in the 50‘s and the beginning of the 60’s this theater was the seat of the South Vietnamese parliament.
