The Municipal Theater of Ho Chi Minh City is an elegant French-colonial style building at Lam Son Square, at the intersection of Le Loi and Dong Khoi streets. Known in Vietnamese as Nha Hat Thanh Pho or the Opera House, it was built in 1899 as a concert hall to entertain the French colonials.
The Municipal Theater has a graceful staircase leading up to the grand entrance which is flanked by columns in the shape of Greco-Roman goddesses. The theater is still being used today for all types of performances from traditional Vietnamese theater to even rock concerts.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
