Tickets typically range 8-30 BGN depending on show and seat; ask at the box office about student and senior discounts. Choose balcony or rear stalls for cheaper seats and book online in advance to secure lower prices.

About
Fakta singkat: Memasuki aula utama, pengunjung disambut lampu kristal yang memantulkan cahaya ke balkon-balkon berornamen emas, menciptakan nuansa panggung klasik yang mewah. Suara langkah di tangga marmer sering terasa seperti bagian dari pertunjukan, dan tempat ini menyelenggarakan ratusan pementasan penting setiap tahunnya.
Sorotan: Gedung yang dibuka pada 1907 dan dirancang oleh arsitek Wina Hermann Helmer dan Ferdinand Fellner menyimpan aula utama dengan sekitar 750 kursi, lampu kristal yang memantulkan cahaya hangat, serta bau kayu tua yang membuat setiap bisik penonton terdengar seperti dialog. Setelah tirai beludru merah turun, penonton sering melemparkan puluhan mawar merah ke depan panggung sehingga tepian tirai terlihat seperti karpet bunga, ritual spontan ini selalu membuat para aktor tertawa dan membungkuk lebih lama.
Insider tips
- Wear smart casual, the atmosphere is formal but not strict and comfortable shoes help for the stairs.
- Photograph the ornate façade and rooftop statues from the square in front for the best composition.
- Arrive 20-30 minutes before curtain to explore the marble foyer and pick the best unreserved seats if applicable.
- Use the upper circle for panoramic stage views and lower-cost seating, avoid late-season weekend premieres to dodge sold-out performances.
