I went to see Das Rheingold on opening night. This was my first opera. The building is incredibly beautiful. It had a red carpet feeling like you would see at a Hollywood awards show. The Lyric Opera building is similar to a lot of those classic theaters you may have been in but on a grander scale. Only downside for me is my height. Seats in older buildings like this were built for shorter people. I was mildly uncomfortable in my seat being a taller than average person. The show was worth the discomfort though.
