For two months I am in Dijon and I realize that I have ever said anything about this city ... Too bad I can not offer you to taste some good wines in the Burgundian way.
So a visit which, logically, lead to the Auditorium ...
From Dijon, we all know, there's the mustard: Who knows at this time besides a few problems since the plant Mesh is about to close.
Then there is the old town, very well preserved, restored, nice.
The beautiful Central Post Office, the nineteenth century ... with postal workers on strike!
And so now the Auditorium building where I'm lucky enough to work.
is a room recently (1998), slightly mad project of the mayor at the time. To give you an idea of the scale, a point at the other building that is shaped like a grand piano, there a. .. 200 meters. The elevator entrance passes over the road!
Inside, it looks a bit Opera Bastille: 1600 seats with good visibility (contrary to the theaters to Italian), 34 meters high at the stage (12 feet visible, far above and below for decoration!)
That's a first look ...
The crazy side of the thing is that Dijon has 150 000 inhabitants (about half that Lausanne, Laval or 3 times). The challenge is to operate and justify the existence of this incredible place by bringing as many people as possible to show ...
Next week I will take my camera for a backstage tour.
Bon weekend!
