I saw The Barber of Sevilla and it was amazing, the actors were superb and the Opera itself is a majestic building. During the breaks you can enjoy yourself on cozy bar they have next to the opera room.
For 14 euros and a three hour plus performance of Aida you can't go wrongA lovely building which a sumptuous inside though the lobby is somewhat spartanThe opera was good - we could hear and the choreography was fascinatingThere were three intervals which was one too many - still, well worth the effort
we had a nice experience in the opera.definitely you have to see a performance there.the tickets price is really good,even to get the best place is not that expensive.the performance was excellent.we are really happy that we went there
I visited Riga, saw much of nice places and ended up at Opera House watching opera “Karmen”. Beautiful place with good acustics, classic royal style interior!!!!!
Was not expecting to see a ballet of a top world caliber in this little theater. Fantastic dancers, misic, costumes.Would recommend to everybody visiting
The venue is beautiful- but don't just visit, go and see and performance. The artistic level is very satisfying, tickets are very cheap and they have subtitles.
The staff were all miserable (especially the lift attendant who was more concerned with making social arrangements on his phone than operating the lift). The church is bland and the view from the top of the tower is uninspiring. .The ticket price is too high - save your €7 for something more worthwhile.
In 2001, the new annex was completed. Using elements of contemporary architecture, it at the same time evokes the style of the late 19th century and blends perfectly with the original building. Aside from offices and rehearsal stages, the annex also provides additional performance space: The New Hall with 300 seats is an ideal venue for chamber operas, small-scale concerts or lectures.
We planned to visit the opera house during our 2 night stay in Riga and ended up seeing both an opera and a ballet performance. Both were reasonably priced and easy to book in person at the box office. The opera house looks good from the outside, situated by some nice gardens on the edge of the old town, but the interior needs to be seen. It's quite stunning. The shows ?? The opera was terrible, the ballet excellent, but both were a memorable experience.
We have been before and have not remembered to write a review. The performance was top rate. Even the kids left impressed!
