In addition to the Bordeaux Opera, the west facade of the Saint-André Cathedral also dresses up in its most beautiful coat of light. This isn't a daily show like the one in the Place de la Comédie, but it will be offered on Fridays and Saturdays on December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, and 21 from 5:30 PM to 10 PM.

What’s behind this colorful creation that makes both young and old dream? It’s the Bordeaux-based company Limelight, specializing in audiovisual services, sales, and live shows. Their feat? To create a unique work painted by hand, digitized, and then projected using cutting-edge technology based on the same principle as Huygens' magic lantern designed to enhance the historical heritage of the Gironde capital. The projection on the Grand-Théâtre will take place every evening from December 6 to January 5, 2025, from 5:30 PM to midnight.
The inauguration will take place on Friday, December 6th, featuring the Choir of the National Opera of Bordeaux to blend music and light starting at 6 PM. What a fabulous kickoff!
