Abandoned Theater From 1892 Where Everthing Still Works | BROS OF DECAY - URBEX

Help us explore the world with a few dollars ► / brosofdecay
An abandoned theater in the middle of a Belgian city? This place has been locked for several years but last week we got a tip that a door was open. We didn't think about it for a second and we jumped in the car and drove to this place. Once we where inside we could not believe what we saw in there. It was just mind blowing that such a place was abandoned. All the lights still functioned in this place and it was just magnificent to see. A little bit of history about it, It was build in 1892 by an Italian architect. He used Italian style for the inside and neo-Gothic style for the outside. It was used to host different kind of shows from opera to rock concerts. Due to the maintenance cost of the place they had to close it down in 2015. It is due to reopen in 2022. I hope you guys enjoy this place as much as i did and i witch you a great time watching the video.

Such a beauty, I'm glad it is getting renovated soon

[@BrosOfDecay]

Yea me to

[@irenegronewald7745]

i love the way you get so emotional, in your appreciation of the beauty in this magnificent building

[@georginapantoja7962]

Hello Lesley! The Theater is gorgeous and beautiful finish I am hope with the renovation this place keep open and the people can 👀 this wonderful and spectacular place. The video is excellent and you are always polite and respectful. 👍👋🇺🇸😍💘💖😄🙏😇

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

The vandals never get caught and never get in trouble, and if they do get caught they get a tiny warning and keep doing what they've always been doing. But the ones who go in and take videos and pictures and never harm the place are the ones who most often get caught and get into trouble when they did nothing wrong. As long as they didn't break anything to get into the building, they should be left alone. All they're doing is looking and documenting.

[@kristy7174]

I am in awe of this beautiful place! Architecture is just incredible n the ceilings take my breath away. So grateful that they will renovate it. Because it would be a total waste of history. People still go to operas n live performances. The dome part was nice to see. Loved the hat! Thank you for sharing this and ING place.

[@BrosOfDecay]

No problem Kristy i love to

[@rhondaz356]

Lesley, what a gorgeous place. Aside from a little bit of peeling paint, there doesn't seem to be much to do since the 'bones' of the theater seem structurally sound. Glad they are renovating/updating and plan to reopen.Thank you for sharing this gem with us.

[@BrosOfDecay]

No problem Rhonda i love to

[@kid6092]

It's so precious to be young.

[@claire040776]

I love your accent and your great grasp of the English language, as it isn't your first language!

[@brockole4851]

Yes , I agree with his English command. And............ the more videos he narrates the better he will become. I wish we would see more of Jordy. I think his English understanding is good, but he has a bit more difficulty speaking it. IMO.

[@brockole4851]

Oh,..... is there a pipe organ in that theater ? That many years ago there may have been one.

[@MichaelAStanhope]

That is absolutely gorgeous. I hope that when its renovated they keep some of the historical bits intact. You never see theaters like this anymore!

[@geraldlarocque6832]

What a beautiful theater!! I go to shows and it is a wonderful experience. It would have been nice to see the dressing rooms too, but that was still a fantastic place. When you enter it is like a totally different world. Thanks for the tour.😀

[@geraldlarocque6832]

Karen Harriman I know, I saw Phanthom of the Opera five times! Lol

[@BrosOfDecay]

Thankyou. The dressing rooms where not that special all by all.

[@lorikendrick5076]

I always wondered what the rich booths looked like. Amazing! Thank you for this tour.

[@BrosOfDecay]

it is my pleasure Lori

[@madamkiss64]

beautiful....just beautiful.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BrosOfDecay]

Thankyou Carla

[@hamadasami9884]

You mentioned that this theater was built in the 1800s, I cannot imagine that , this beauty, and all these facilities and luxuries were available those days. It is amazing. I imagine you discovering another luxurious place which is the TITANIC ship. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@AllThatBeautyWithLori]

It would be lovely if they would open it back up, it is beautiful!! To think how many people through time have sat in the seats, I can almost picture and imagine a woman with her Hat, and long dress, and a man with his suit on, the beauty of older places, I so enjoy seeing your Journey along at these places. Thanks for sharing!! xoxo

[@MJK1965]

I am an old theatre enthusiast. This is the best I've seen. I hope when they renovate it, that it won't be a multi-cinema.

[@Justin_80]

What a gorgeous theater, definitely a treasure to be preserved.

[@marktubeie07]

Beautiful, just beautiful! So glad it's getting a new life after a renovation.

[@zaynabbas9300]

Simply beautiful large Theater. While watching this coverage one feels travelling back in time. We are pleased to note that this historical heritage theater structure will be renovated. We hope that all the original design patterns would be maintained, and the building deserves to be protected and renovated back into its original glory.

[@suzyabc]

what a fantastic piece of history,so clean and brilliant to watch i was so captivated could have looked in every nook and cranny, amazing guys and thanks.

[@MartaMichalskaUras]

thank you for taking us into this amazing theatre!

[@bighook9345]

great camera work another awesome video thanks bros

[@robb2mus]

OMG. I won't disclose the location, but I sang in that theater nearly 30 years ago. Thank you so much for this video. It brought back many memories.

[@VelvetJazz]

You guys are so lovely, so gracious, what a delight to end the day with your videos.

[@dorisrosa62]

It's so beautiful, it takes you back of how beautiful life was back then when Ballet was everyone dream. I always wanted to be a ballet dancer and never was aloud cause of my bad feets. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@donnasfocus2050]

Wow I can't believe something so gorgeous is just going to waste. WOW. I would love to see that place in person.

[@claire040776]

I love the Entrance Hall. Wow!

[@ladyvalhalla7154]

One of your best explores yet. I wonder if there was an organ that rose up from the basement level. Alot of the old opera houses in USA had those. I love that place..so opulent. Breathtaking. Will watch this several times. Thank you for showing such beauty. 🐱

[@steelman86]

So happy to hear this is not an abandoned opera house, just awaiting a restoration which, even though it looks basically sound, will cost into the millions I would think. Hopefully they preserve the ceilings and ornate lighting fixtures, restore dome paintings also! I should think In Europe, it will be an easier task to find artisans who can still make moulds and cast missing plaster/gilded parts of the ceilings etc. Beautiful place and thank you for this latest adventure. Disappointed you didn’t give us a little taste of your Swan Lake ballet routine in tights though! Lol

[@claire040776]

What an amazing find!

[@selener4973]

This is such a beautiful theater! I have never seen such a place, or been to one! Seeing backstage was so intersting to me. I think of the important people in the special boxes and the curtain goes up!!! What excitment it would be.!!! Thank you for this glimpse into this fairytale world!!! Wonderful!!!!

[@heatherbruun3109]

WOW!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing, so much beauty everywhere you look . I love your enthusiasm and how respectful you are in all your videos , thank you for sharing !!!!!!

[@CindyMcGuireGrandmaOf6]

Wow Leslie. The theater is incredible. I can picture people like Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, his brothers & their wives, sitting in the box seats. Omg Leslie, you walked the catwalks above the stage? Incredible.

[@jennymorris193]

Breath taking!!!!❤️

[@annatyra4387]

Awesome place. I watched all your videos in 3 days. You guy's are the best. I'm glad you guys posted another one. I'm waiting for more to come. I like the houses the best though. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@nicolarollinson4381]

Thank you guys..as always, such a pleasure to watch and share your enthusiasm. Love your style. This place is incredible. I don't understand why it needs renovating and hope they don't tear out its soul.

[@Sofus.]

Do not worry it is certainly protected by law - conservation of cultural heritage.

[@marcelyeoh8900]

Yes glad it's will be renovated. Such a beauty- just like Lesley.

[@karifredrikson8492]

You did a Great Job narrating. You’re lucky you can do what you love.

[@bfoster2335]

So beautiful

[@TheLondonLass]

What a beautiful building. I hope they do a good job of restoring it. I have sat in a box a couple of times and in many theatres they have the worst view of the stage despite being the most expensive seats.

[@ianrichardson3968]

I do hope the renovation is going to restore this theatre to its former glory. It is a wonderful piece of history and a beautiful building. Its' layout is fairly similar to theatres like this around the world, But I doubt there's many left in this condition.

[@linall2345]

So glad you didn’t get caught! I just watched another video of this place and they thought they set an alarm off. I am thrilled it will be put to use again! So a beautiful place!!

[@anacallow509]

[@dragonmaid1360]

Sometimes the very cheap seats were up the top up the back. That's why the seats probably don't look as good. Thank you for showing this beautiful place

[@moladhdodhia1580]

Thank you so much, this was great,I wish I could go back in time as a rich person and experience it the way it was when it first opened.

[@djmixmaster6935]

[@mariale-bron9034]

What a phenomenal place. I could picture it Now--back in the day, there were no TVs and people dressed their best and gathered together to have a night of dinner, dance, & theater. And then afterwards a night cap and chatting how wonderful the play was--giving their reviews. Wasn't that nice?

[@rebeccarogers7647]

Thank You for taking Us on this journey.. What a Magnificent Theater. Beautiful just a Beautiful Place. Love the old Victoria Couch and everything about it.

[@sharondavidson2581]

Awesome!It's good someone is renovating this building.It looks in good shape though.

[@stillbee7222]

It's so beautiful! They should leave it as is.

[@brockole4851]

So far it hasn't been vandalized and trashed. {yet}

[@stillbee7222]

Brock Ole Hopefully no one does vandalize it. I don't understand why people do it. It's really a shame.

[@lindahall2197]

[@andrewdavies438]

It’s nice that people explore old buildings that aren’t vandalised but the people start uploading the on KZbin that’s when the vandalism starts happening but like your videos

[@sandraromano8919]

We have a theater in my hometown of Altoona, PA in the USA, it was recently restored. Very similar to this one but ours is smaller. Mishler Theater.

[@laurab.9845]

I swear I've seen this place on some cultural tv show but not empty. Really magnificent and soo glad it won't be seeing the wrecking ball anytime soon. Imagine the stories the walls could tell!

[@galvaceci6498]

How beautiful, what a grand theater! I don't blame you for not wanting to get caught exploring. When or if you do ask them to read the comments that we write, then they would know that you have the deepest respect for everything and everyone! Glad they will be reopening the theater it is gorgeous!

[@mshockey73]

Oh my gosh, that place is gorgeous. What a find you guys!! So happy to hear they're going to renovate it. Thanks so much for the tour. Loved it!!

[@rebeccabussiere7070]

Spectacular place they need to keep it in shape! Great job with video

[@vsmichael1]

Ballroom ceiling looks like it was being repaired & left before it was done. Upkeep on it had to be up there. Keeping the ceiling & walls clean from dust etc.

[@sallya.2412]

Bravo! Such a elegant and beautiful theater to see. I'm glad they will be fixing it up. You look so cute with your princess hat there. LOL

[@angiepops841]

The Theatre itself is a work of art. 🇬🇧
