Exclusive StageTour – The renewed OperaTour offers a new unique experience
This summer, the Hungarian State Opera’s building tour offers an unforgettable new highlight! Following the classic 50-minute guided tour, guests will now enjoy an exclusive addition: the opportunity to step onto the iconic stage, from where they can marvel at the stunning auditorium.
During the StageTour, you will walk through the most beautiful areas of the renovated Opera House, including the impressive and previously unseen Hall of Portraits, and spend 10–15 minutes on the stage, with time for photos and light refreshments.
The StageTour is available every week on Fridays and Sundays, at the following times:
- 6:00 p.m. – in Hungarian
- 6:15 p.m. – in English
