Vietnam - Saigon - Opera House - Wednesday, September 16, 1959 |
 |
| In the early 1940s, together with the rest of the country, the building entered into a turbulent period that lasted more than three decades. In 1943, some of the ornaments and statues on the theatre façade were removed after being criticised as overly ornate. The following year, the building’s exterior was further disfigured in Allied air raids. History of Saigon Opera House |
