Greek National Opera

Kassandra the ópera was phenomenal. And, hilarious. Although there were musicians, the Maestro, and a man with a quiet part (Bugs Bunny!), Kassandra was definitely the star of the show. The actor’s operatic range was incredible and I loved her ability to connect with the crowd. The show felt intimate and special. Thank you! I hope to come back.

It’s a wonderful theatre with nice surroundings, kind personnel, clean everywhere with a very nice shop and a great variety of products to buy. A lot of shows to choose, all very interesting and very well presented

The Greek Opera is even more amazing than its surroundings - the SNFCC complex. Impressive, as a national opera should be; modern and technologically advanced, as it's probably the newest in Europe, it's a must visit if you are interested in its kind of art.

Very interesting, so glad we visited. The self-guided audio tour was very helpful. Excellent views. The staff at the reception desk were great. The door set-up in the light house was confusing.

The Opera Hall is in a beautiful contemporary Architectural complex. It is particularly worth visiting the Lighthouse, the top floor with a fantastic panoramic view of the city. Unfortunately, the production of La Boheme that we saw was nothing to rave about. The singing was good. But the staging was just too over the top crass.

The seats are quite comfortable, which makes a big difference for long performances. There’s a small screen in front of each seat for subtitles—it’s functional, but personally, I prefer when subtitles are projected on a screen next to the stage so you don’t have to look down all the time. Both the first and second balconies offer a good view and solid acoustics. If you're sitting in the stalls, I recommend rows 7 to 10—you’ll get a slightly elevated perspective of the stage, which improves the overall experience.

A masterpiece of architecture and landscape design, Athens' new Opera house and the National Library is a must for those who enjoy contemporary architecture. The complex has a terrace has a panoramic view of Athens and Phaliron bay and is surrounded by a Mediterranean park.

I have attended two performances at the Greek National Opera and both were truly remarkable. It is such a beautiful experience with high-quality productions. Well done to everyone involved!
