We went there for a great show, a ballet inspired by the music of G. F. Handels Messiah. Excellent show in a very nice building.

From outside is really a jewel, and inside is just luxurious. Ballet was really magnificient. And the cakes that we ate in the interval...fine, tasteful...a must!

Best seats in the house for 22 lats to see the Latvian National Ballet perform La Bayadere. The opera house is very impressive and well worth a visit Booking tickets is very simple on line using the reliable Berlin based Classictic agency. As for the ballet, it may not be the Royal Ballet or Mariinsky but it was an enjoyable... More

This white neo-classic building is in a small square by the canal. It looks nice and has a good program of performances. The Opera Square in front has a few statues, a fountain and is well tended. So this is another landmark to see in this beautiful city.

very nace building in the center of Riga, next to the river, ideal for picnic with the opera buiilding see

If you have any interest in Opera, dont miss to visit the LNO when visiting Riga. Excellent performers and text machine in English. Bargain price. We saw La Boheme and were very satisfied.

opera and ballet performance tickets in Riga Opera is not so expensive, therefore, you must choose some performance and if you are lucky to get ticket, you must go and enjoy it!

I don't think this is being proud Latvian, it is simply on the TO DO list on anyone who is a visitor or lives here. Very good plays - opera and ballet. The building itself is worth seeing.

Went to watch the ballet, Anna Karenina by the Latvian National Ballet. I got the cheap seats so wasn't the best view and had to stand for some of the bits. But good value overall and a fun evening's entertainment.
