Personal muy amable y atento. Recomiendo comprar entradas al menos con 1 mes de antelación si quieres sentarte. Aun así, con dicha antelación seguramente no consigas asientos buenos. Ambiente espectacular. Amplias estancias para comer y beber. Recomiendo en los intermedios o un rato antes de la función, explorar el edificio.

La ópera está muy buena, el edificio es realmente impresionante. Sacamos los tickets parados, son los de arriba del todo a un precio menor (€15) y la verdad que bien. Según donde te toque la vista al escenario puede estar reducida, pero a medida que avanza la obra la gente se suele ir por lo que se puede obtener mejores vistas, aunque los tickets sean parados, cada uno obtiene una pequeña pantalla donde puede elegir el idioma para ver la traducción de la ópera. Fue una muy linda experiencia por un precio razonable, eso sí tener en cuenta que son tickets parados y la ópera dura un totoal de tres horas, si bien te podes sentar en el piso, nose si es lo ideal. A su vez dentro venden comida, y pareciera ser a un precio razonable, algo para tener en cuenta, y dentro de la ópera también se ofrece el servicio de ropero, donde se deja una propina a gusto.

No pude ingresar, pero por afuera es una mega belleza, es super imponente, la estructura, el diseño, el color y las fuentes que tiene en las esquina, es super bonito. Vale micho la pena visitarlo y se pudiera por dentro me imagino seria un mejor.
