The image displays the illuminated facade of the Opéra National du Rhin in Strasbourg, France, at night. The grand classical building features a prominent portico with multiple fluted columns, capped by an entablature and a flat roofline. Along the roofline, several classical statues are positioned, silhouetted against the dark sky and highlighted by intense purple and blue theatrical lighting that bathes the entire facade. Between the columns, multiple large vertical banners are suspended. The leftmost banner identifies the institution as "Opéra National" and specifies "Saison '25 '26." Other banners advertise various opera productions for the upcoming season, including "Hansel et Gretel" by Engelbert Humperdinck (Strasbourg dates: 3-17 Dec. 2025), "Le Miracle d'Héliane" by Erich Wolfgang Korngold (Strasbourg dates: 23 Jan. - 7 Fev. 2026), and "Hamlet" by Brett Dean (Strasbourg dates: 19-27 Mar. 2026). Each banner features distinct graphic designs related to its respective production. In the mid-left foreground, a tall, ornate street lamp with a frosted glass shade emits a warm, yellow light. At the bottom center of the frame, the red, white-tipped top of a Santa hat is partially visible. Indistinct figures representing multiple people are discernible at the very bottom edge of the image, suggesting a crowd gathered in front of the building. The sky above the structure is a uniform dark blue-black.
