Delightful place for the opera. Comfortable seating. Nice venue.
This was my first time going to the opera and we just couldn t wait! For our first time, we picked La Boheme. Despite rushing after work to head here, trying to find parking, running in, we still managed to get there too late: right at 7pm when the show started. They re very strict at letting people in once it starts so you have to wait for the second act to go in.
We were bummed to miss it and thought we would just have to waste the first 30 minutes of it and be lost forever. They re prepared for all the latecomers so they have a room, kind of the size of a movie theatre room, where you can watch it in a big screen and not miss a thing.
Once we got to our seats, despite them not being the best seats in the house we still had a great time. The seats are comfortable and you have subtitles in at least 5 languages (English, Spanish, German, Italian, french). We had a great time and can t wait to be back for our next show in March!
If you re super confused and stuck on what to wear like I was, you can t really go wrong with anything. We decided to go with cocktail attire but there were many people dressed formal as well as casual with jeans on. For a nice night out at the opera I definitely think you should go all out and stay classy. Might as well right?
