The building is a theater style neo - classical opera house.It was built in Belle Epoque period in 1907 - 1913 , and designed by Louis Cordonnier
.The front elevation is subdivided by the neo-doric columns and central part features arched windows and many interesting statues and a very characteristic fluted pediment.

I have been to France many times, but never to Lille. The front of the building looks very impressive from your photos, very much in the later 19th century taste. Perhaps the architect was evoking an earlier, more flamboyant era in French culture?
