What a pretty building with tons of history and the ticketing officers also kind and friendly and informative to the customers/ tourist.
Well I suggest to booing the ticket in priory if you don’t want to missed the opera show.

To say it’s breathtaking would be an understatement. It’s beautiful but also the operas showed here are incredibly executed. Although a bit pricey, highly recommend getting good seats and attending at least one opera. A truly unforgettable experience.
Very nice old building and good atmosphere in general. Anyhow it seems to be too much people to be put in at any cost. Place at higher levels in everything but row 1 do not make any sense as you will see almost nothing. Stands seem to be the better and cheaper option if you can stand the climate. It is freaking hot inside and only little air circulation. Actually, shorts may be more suitable than a suit to have a comfortable event. In addition, drinks are massively overpriced. You may argue for the location and occasion but a bottle of water remains a bottle of water. Other big event houses offer meanwhile free water as sell service. Probably time to rethink the current concept.
Must visit in Vienna. Another Magnificent architecture testament to the creativity and ingenuity of that time. The whole structure is the masterpiece from outside to inside. The ceilings, column, beam, staircase specially inside the main opera. If you have time, watch an opera, ballet or what is on that time. But buy tickets way in advance. Specially the popular ones. I had a difficult time getting good seat at Giselle 1month before the show.
We did the tour here with a lovely tour guide, and despite not having gone to an opera before, I found it interesting and informative. It's an impressive building and even more so impressive the work that goes on behind the scenes. I'd recommend the tour to anyone with an interest in architecture, history, and of course, opera and the arts.
One of the most amazing buildings in the world. Beautiful on the outside, should see the terrace, but astonishing on the inside. Was lucky to attend an opera performance recently and it was one of my wishes come true. Also the people that work in it, couldn't be more accommodating. A night I'll never forget for sure.
Buy tickets in advance and even if it is in the upper areas, sound and view are great. It's an experience you won't regret.

It was an amazing experience to see an opera. I was travelling from the US and glad I got to experience the wonderful music. I couldn't see all of the stage because of my seat, but I appreciated the music so much that it didn't matter. And the English subtitles were so helpful! Definitely worthwhile to see if you are visiting Vienna.
