À propos
Faits rapides: Golden chandeliers and velvet curtains bathe the auditorium in a warm glow, while the stage regularly hosts operas whose voices can linger long after the final bow. Surprisingly precise acoustics carry a whisper from the stage to the gallery, and behind the scenes you can glimpse lavish costumes and gilded plasterwork that steal the spotlight for photographers.
Points forts: Built in 1895 by the Viennese firm Fellner and Helmer, the grand auditorium still bathes red velvet seats and gilded plasterwork in warm light, so close you can hear the orchestra's breath before the overture. A quirky backstage superstition survives: performers habitually touch a small bronze relief near stage-left for luck, the metal polished smooth from decades of secret pre-show rituals, so a shiny thumbprint catches the lamps if you glimpse inside.
Conseils d'initiés
- Dress smart casual, formal wear is optional but avoid shorts and flip-flops.
- Photography during performances is not allowed, photograph the illuminated facade and marble staircase before the show.
- Buy tickets online ahead for popular productions; choose upper gallery seats for cheaper prices and good acoustics.
- Arrive 30–45 minutes early to join any short foyer tour and to secure a table at the nearby café after the performance.

Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.
