Sofia Opera & Ballet House

Sight4.8 · 5 490≈ 18 minFree entry

Bulgaria's national opera house in a park off Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard: a mid-20th-century building with a columned facade and an auditorium seating close to a thousand. The company traces its roots to 1908; the season runs operas and ballets at ticket prices well below Western European houses. In summer open-air productions and concerts are staged on the square in front, and at night the facade is dramatically lit.

Highlights

  • National opera and ballet stage with roots in 1908
  • Columned facade and an auditorium of nearly 1,000 seats
