Review:
Originally known as the Hungarian State Opera House, the Hungarian State Opera House began construction in 1875 and wasn't opened to the public until 1884, 9 years later. The neo-Renaissance opera house was designed by one of Europe's leading architects, Miklos Ybl. It is the second largest opera house in Hungary and has hosted performances by important artists, such as the famed music director Otto Klemperer and composer Gustav Mahler. Visitors can explore the neo-Renaissance style building filled with paintings, sculptures, and many other forms of Hungarian art. Depending on when they're in Budapest, visitors may also be able to attend the Budapest Opera Ball, a society event that dates back to 1886.
