We were told to be there 15 minutes before the tour started, but were still only let in at the time the tour started. I find that unfavorable. In addition, the tours were so tightly timed that the background noise was so high that we could only understand very little of the guide. But what we did understand was very interesting.

It was wonderful to see the opera when it wasn't full. It was a special privilege to see the stage open. We also learned many interesting facts about the architecture. Photos only with photo pass!
