File FrenchOperaByNight.jpg right thumb Postcard view from late in the building s history The French OperaHouse was an operahouse in New Orleans, Louisiana New Orleans . It was one of the city s landmarks from its opening in 1859 until it was destroyed by fire in 1919. It stood in the French Quarter at the uptown lake corner of Bourbon Street Bourbon and Toulouse Streets, with the main entrance on Bourbon. Designed by James Gallier , Jr., the hall was commissioned by Charles Boudousquie , then the director of the opera company, which had previously made its home in the Orleans Theater. After a dispute with new owners of the Orleans, Boudousquie determined to build a grand new house for French opera. The building went up in less than a year at a cost of 118,500 and for the next sixty years, it was the center of social activity in New Orleans. Not only opera was held there, but also Carnival balls, debuts, benefits, receptions, and concerts. By 1913, however, the house had fallen on hard times and was forced into receivership. An anonymous donor later identified as William Ratcliffe Irby purchased the building and donated it to Tulane University , along with the wherewithal to operate it under the new leadership of the French tenor Agustarello Affr . The building reopened, but went up in flames on the night of December 4, 1919.
