Opera Graz

The Graz Opera stands out as a culturally and architecturally significant landmark, distinguished by its strong historic identity and enduring grandeur. As a performance venue, the quality of staff and visitor services is generally high, contributing positively to the overall experience. Even for architectural appreciation alone, the opera house remains a defining feature of Graz’s urban landscape. In one sentence, all the staff performs professionally, attentive, and should be considered as asset in creating a memorable cultural visit. Designed in a neo-Baroque style and inaugurated in 1899, the Graz Opera was conceived as both a functional performance space and a monumental cultural structure for the city. The building’s balanced proportions and refined sculptural detailing convey a strong sense of elegance and prominence in central Graz. Internally, the auditorium and grand staircase have retained much of their historic character, featuring partially golden work details and decorative ceiling paintings that clearly reflect the original artistic and architectural ambitions.

A beautiful opera house, not too big, elegant and finely decorated. Nice view from the main terrace. Good programming and beautiful sets in the staging. The buvette, located in several places, offers a fast and courteous service during the intervals.

A lifetime experience for Opera. The interior detailed design of the building was so beautiful. The music just takes you to another level while enjoying the play. A place worth of visit while one is in Graz.

Old building of the opera with some modern installations around it.

As a student, prices are incredibly affordable and it would be a pity for other students to miss out, as a first time student in Graz you can get a €1 ticket deal with the option to sit anywhere, you do this by first signing up on the Opera Graz website and buying your ticket in person at the ticket office beside the Opera itself, every time after that the tickets will be €8. This experience was wonderful, I watched “La Traviata” and everything from the orchestra to the acting and production was unforgettable, would recommend to anyone who gets the opportunity to go 😊

A theatre of a great diversity and production interpretation. With a very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Should visit if you ever have free time in Graz.

Amazing Theater, in the center of one of the most beautiful city of the world, in Graz. We saw the "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" (Moliere) and that was a unique experience. It was an excellent performance

Great musical and architectural design , if you are in Graz - consider visiting it for a pleasant time spent in this wonderful opera.
