First Visit to the Opera

Opera is an experience for all the senses. Have you never attended an opera or ballet performance? That is no problem at all! You definitely do not need to be an expert to enjoy an evening at the opera – all you need is an open mind and a love of music, theater, and dance.

Debunking Myths
"Opera is only for the rich": Ticket prices start from 50 PLN.
"I don't understand Italian": It doesn't matter. Every performance is presented with Polish subtitles displayed above the stage.
"I have to come in a tailcoat or evening gown": No, we do not have a strict dress code. Everything is allowed: a dress, skirt, shirt, trousers, suit, jacket, or sweater.

Which performance is good for the first time?

Experience shows that classical works are ideal for a start – you will be surprised how many melodies you already know from movies or commercials.

Classics: Carmen (G. Bizet), La Bohème (G. Puccini), Don Quixote (L. Minkus), Coppélia (L. Delibes), Aida (G. Verdi).
