About
Snabba fakta: Step inside and marvel at the exceptional acoustics considered among the world's best, allowing every note to reach your ears with crystal clarity. The lavish interior, featuring ornate frescoes and crystal chandeliers, creates an ambiance as rich and dramatic as the performances held on its stage.
Höjdpunkter: The theater's grand chandelier weighs over 3,500 kilograms, casting a golden glow that complements its 2,487-seat auditorium designed with perfect acoustics that allow a whisper on stage to be heard clearly in the farthest corner. There is a quirky tradition where performers touch a bronze bull statue in the lobby for good luck before stepping onto the stage.

- Book an early morning weekday tour to avoid crowds and get clear photos of the marble staircase and foyer.
- Photographs are generally allowed on tours but avoid flash and follow staff directions during rehearsals and performances.
- Use the cloakroom for large bags, and buy performance tickets online well in advance to secure the best seats.
