I think your experience here all depends on a few things. If you live in New York and/or have frequented the Met or the New York State Opera, the productions probably won't blow you out of the water. But if you're like me, a casual opera goer, then you will probably enjoy yourself. Go more for the entire experience rather... More

Really enjoyed showing up at the last minute to watch the Opera on the big screen from the outdoor seating area outside the Opera House. Of course, you are weather dependent, and there is some traffic noise and people walking by, but in some ways that just enhances the experience. In the intermission you can wander into the City and... More

I decided to go into the Opera house mainly because it was raining outside, but I'm so glad that I did! When I arrived a tour was just about to begin, so for a few Euro's I decided to join the group. The tour was brilliant, giving you a glimpse into the auditorium, the back stage areas and many of... More

It's really fancy and nice inside as it is on the outside. We were able to get the standing tickets for 3 euro and see a really great ballet! Definitely worth doing despite standing the whole time. Not sure about the other shows but the ballets are great to watch.

Well worth a visit to experience a top class opera performance in a wonderful building with superb accoustics. I loved this place and would definately recommend. If you don't want to go inside they have a big screen at the side of the building so you can see the performance - but no substitute for the real thing.

I was not planned early to visit the opera so I got my ticket very expensive. I attend La traviata Opera It was not WAW but I enjoy it since this was my first time at opera, the building was amazing I love it and enjoy it , ppl who don’t like to spend money they can just visit the... More

Second visit to this fabulous Opera House. Managed to get return tickets for 65 euros.It was in a box of six seats one partial view and one quite good view. The Opera house is stunning similar to Paris but I think I prefer Vienna. Ticket seller said casual clothes were fine. Wrong! People seriously dress up for the opera here.Tosca... More

OK, my wife and I are opera enthusiasts and were anxiously our opportunity to see La Traviata in the State Opera House. The performers were some of the best we have heard but we were disappointed by the production being done in a "modern way" with people dressed like they just came in off the street. The opera house is... More

Saw "Tosca" here on May 18. Were not as much impressed with the performance as with the orchestra. The sound the orchestra made was shear perfection. The stage was rather conservative (or should I say traditional?), to my taste too little innovative, no WOW factor. The internet booking system could be better, too. We could not pick the exact box... More
