Luxurious interior, guests in evening dresses and suits, heavenly music and champagne – this is how we imagine an evening at the opera. Time to ditch the stereotypes. Nowadays, there are no longer strict restrictions on the style of dress, so you can also meet guests in jeans at the opera. The architecture of opera houses has also changed radically. Opera houses are no longer just palaces, but also contemporary and sometimes futuristic buildings.
The Western world has a deep tradition of opera, the origins of which can be traced back to 16th century Italy. Since then, both the opera itself and its houses have changed a lot. Architects try to create an increasingly interesting design, which is able to meet the acoustic requirements of the opera and provide comfort to the visitors at the same time.
