Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera

You have to come here for a Ballet or Opera! The experience is one of a kind and is unforgettable. I took my girlfriend here and we had a great time. You need to book the tickets many months in advance, but it is worth it! It’s also recommended to dress nice too. I recommend!

Went on a tour of the National Opera, Teatr Wielki, today with my wife. This was an English language tour. We were shown around the main building, the auditorium and back stage. It is a spectacular building inside and the scale of backstage was magnificent. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Someone was on hand throughout the tour to assist my wife who currently has mobility issues. Our guide was very knowledgeable about this building. Thanks to everyone there today.

Great premier on November 13th. Impressive show! And little museum is hidden jam.

Amazing experience at Teatr Wielki Polish National Opera in Warsaw. The ballet performance was beautiful, with fantastic dancers and a stunning stage

There are certain buildings that don’t just stand in a city—they breathe history, culture, and beauty. During my visit to Warsaw, one such place immediately captured my attention: the majestic Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera. As I approached the grand neoclassical façade, framed by tall columns and intricate stonework, I felt like I had stepped into a different era. It wasn't just the architecture that impressed me, but the atmosphere—one of quiet dignity and artistic purpose. Even though I didn’t attend a performance this time, simply walking around the exterior felt like being part of something timeless. The statue outside, the symmetry of the colonnades, the layers of history built into its walls—it all told a story of Poland's rich cultural resilience. The surroundings were quiet, the sky overcast, and the air filled with the kind of stillness that makes you stop and look again. The square in front was full of parked cars and people going about their day, but for a few moments, I stood still, just admiring the scale and presence of this landmark. It's the kind of place that reminds you how important art and heritage are to a nation’s identity. I look forward to returning one day—hopefully to experience the magic from the inside.

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

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 world-class performances. The tickets are a steal if you can get them directly from the theater, but that is pretty difficult, because they sell out almost instantly.

One of my favourite places in Warzawa! If you have the chance, make sure to see a production here.. The theatre is splendid on the outside to see but even more amazing inside, with a lot of decoration and prettiness on the inside. The staff is super nice, though I feel like it would be helpful to let guests know where the washrooms are as looking for those is a scavenger hunt. The seats are quite comfortable and the view is great even from the second balcony. I would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy some culture and arts in the heart of Warsaw.
