Very cheap seats for every play. The guided tour (eng, ita, spa ..) is very recommended too. Dont pay the picture fee, you will be able to take them anyway (the leaders doesnt stop anyone)

Valentina

Magnificent performance , pure sound, talented actors, incredible interior. Note: in winter cloakroom is used for extra fee. Better to book tickets beforehand, otherwise standing only are available.

Daria M

If you have a box seat , you can take your upper clothes with you, there is a place for it. Don't forget to visit the balcony facing Andrasi on the second floor and enjoy. The place is magic!

Ilana Zholobovsky

You can find really cheap tickets for ballet , for as little as 1500 HUF. Easy to order, everything is on their website.

Tour in English usually run at 15:00 and 16:00. If your are attending to a performance , you may skip the tour as the greatest thing is the interiors.

We Love Budapest

Worth seeing a show as much for the opera as to admire the ambience of the stunning architecture - both inside and out. Keep in mind tickets often sell out in advance.

Nassim

One of the most beautiful opera house I've ever been to. And amazing rooftop with the musicians statues . Don't miss a Coffee at its nostalgic café .

Helen

MUST SEE! Try to buy tickets for a play or for a rehearsal a few hours before. They are really cheap (400ft)!! That way you see the interior avoiding the expensive tours ..

Ecem Ersoz

The opera house is lovely and u at the end of the tour there is small opera for you. Such a cute

Yiannis K.

A place you must see. If you're lucky enough to attend an opera, it's an unforgettable experience

Carl Griffin

Stunning painted dome. Excellent place to enjoy an opera performance .

Marco Voormolen

Great and beautiful place. Only criticism would that they regularly perform operas in Hungarian instead of original language with surtitles lacking humour/nuances.

Andrew Keller

Must see in Budapest, but be warned they will require you to pay an additional 500 HUF for a wristband that allows you to take photographs , in addition to the admission/tour fee.

Siobhán

Highly recommend the tour as it's breathtakingly beautiful and our guide was both hilarious and informative.

András Koncsek

I'm working here. I'm think this building is soo amazing and beautiful. If you want a special tour , please contact me and maybe make a guided tour .

Sveta

Beautiful inside out. If you are not into opera, come for a guided tour to admire the interior.

Berkay Şentürk

One of the best buildings of Budapest, simply amazing. The guided tour is definitely worth to take.

Attendance this opera is a must in Budapest! It is very beautiful in and outside. "The Bat" performance is flawless

Gerry Hornik

A wonderful surprise. Beautiful opera house with outstanding production of Tosca. And the prices are very reasonable.

Vsevolod Borisov

Terrace is very nice place sorting a break, don't resist to drink a cop of coffee and feel Budapest night.

Sophie Campbell

Architecture , tours , ballet . Go in the day time to shows tickets are cheaper

Réka Manon

Anne Trulave's role is a pearl in Stravinsky's piece! Such wonderful arias,brava !

Morgan

Beautiful interior and lovely cast, but they advertise full translations during shows and didn't really deliver ...

Pelin Dura

go inside and take the tour with a mini concert totally worth it

TOBE Gallery

Gorgeous building on Andrassy Avenue, style, culture, entertainment in one place

Losninos Willy

The building is incredible. The performance of "fledermaus" a disaster with bad humour on top of continuously missing subtitles.

Kim Gammelgaard

Do the tour . It includes a mini concert at the end.

Nistha

You can enter and have an idea if you really want to spend money to see it all.

peter dunn

For a little extra $ you get a truly lovely 10 minute recital by an up and comer.

Beautiful interior but hot inside
