The shows are good, but also the excellent old style building. And I appreciate that it is near the metro. Not too long shows. A beautiful experience for all ages.Full review by NorthStar29836295435

The main opera house will not be open until spring or summer 2020. We were there in May abd our guide said construction is behind schedule. You can tour the main stairs, the buffet lounge, the smoking room, and another hallway now. At the end of the tour, 2 singers will sing short arias and duets. This tour takes about 45 minutes
