Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera

This was the first time I walked out of an opera. I got four tickets for my family and we were so excited to see The Magic Flute. Sadly, there was no sets, no costumes, no real performance. The whole opera took place against an animated backdrop. We didn’t pay money to watch some animation on the screen. So we walked out after the first act. I had high expectations for the opera and we are all thoroughly disappointed. I wish I had known. Then I wouldn’t have wasted time and money… I also want to add the seats are horrendous. People over 5ft will have difficulty putting their legs in a comfortable position.

Fantastic ballet, beautiful place with an exhibition which you can explore during break. I really recommend Teatr Wielki!!!

An extreme beautiful building, the interior and the halls are mesmerizing. The staff is polite and during an opera everything is organized in a well manner. We been to see Aida which was an impressive opera. The crowd is beautiful, all the chic and well behaved people. Highly recommend to try this experience. One down side would be the huge queue to the toilets during the break, not sure if it can be improved as the building is quite old and not sure if there can be any changes made. I

Beautiful place, great opera experience, highly recommended. However there are few things that could be improved: 1. Subtitles only in polish-pity because there are many foreigners coming 2. Very small choice of snacks in the opera cafeteria, basically there are only heavy cakes. If these issues could be fixed it would be a really amazing place.

Beautiful building and so nice to see everyone so elegant. I was lucky enough to see a shorter and cheaper ballet here. I went alone and it was perfect. Great views, I reserved a wine for the interval and it was smooth and easy. Probably most memorable night in Warsaw as an English tourist.

Plays, actors, costumes, and decorations are awesome. Originally, plays are in Polish, but there are subtitles in English available. There are plenty of stairs and tricky elevators, but even people with some measured abilities can visit this beautiful classic culture mecca of Warsaw City. If you want to feel the deep emotions of true love, dignity, and betrayal, please visit "Madame Baterfly"(for sensitive people, don't forget some napkins 👆🏻). If you aren't opera songs lover, then I would advise you to visit ballet , for example "Jazelle". Gracious dancers, wonderful music. Even the cheapest seats at balcony 3 will be worth every "grosz" you have to pay. Warsaw Opera Theater proposes different genres plays that can attract everyone from a child or beginner to the high level sofisticated art connoisseur. Also, there is a permanent Art exhibition in the foyer you can enjoy in the brake. As a tip, I can also advise to grab a small bottle of water or not water with you as the queues to the bouffant are terrible 🫠 Parking is available, and public transportation is also convenient, so don't hesitate.

My first opera in my life in such a beautiful theatre in Warsaw. It was incredible, such an amazing combination the play of the actors, technology, and the singing is so strong that they don’t even need a microphone. My impressions - so adorable…

Absolutely greatest music experience!
