Geneva - Place Neuve

Geneva's Conservatoire de Musique, built in 1858, hosts an annual music competition. It is found on the west side of Place Neuve.

On the north side of Geneva's Place Neuve stands the Grand Théâtre (Opera House, 1874-79).

A fire in 1951 destroyed much of Geneva's Grand Théâtre but it was rebuilt keeping much of the original 1879 exterior. The opera house holds only 1,488 and it attracts fine casts.

The first Swiss museum to be devoted to the fine arts, the Rath Museum currently exhibits international as well as Swiss art.
