We were able to get tickets to a ballet on a Wednesday night of the production. The tickets were 30 euros each for the main floor in what I would consider very nice seats. The show was beautiful, as was the theater. It was a treat to see something so wonderful at such an affordable price, compared to North American pricing. I felt slightly under dressed in black jeans and slip on sneakers (nicer shoes and pants would have been better) but no one stopped me and it was okay. I saw some young teens in much more casual wear, but all adults were in slacks, dresses, heels, tights, ect. Absolutely lovely theater, show, experience, everything. Highly recommend for everyone, as an English speaking tourist it was very easy to figure out.

Dracula Ballet. We managed to get tickets in this beautiful opera house for the most outstanding ballet that I have ever seen. BRAVO! Ballet, music, choreography, set, costumes. What a performance it was simply fantastic. Perfection at every step. The music sheer magic. This was as good in fact better than anything seen in Sydney, London, Moscow, France …….what a night. Well done to the entire company. A night that I absolutely will never forget and will probably never surpass. Three very very happy English tourists. If Aida is half as good as this tomorrow night I will die happy- thank you.? Yes to add on….Aida was just as fantastic, costumes, set music voices. Totally 2 fantastic nights of culture. XXX

Come, take a look, its a fine place to set up a first date, and an even better place to spend those tuxedo-and-caviar-and-wine-fulled evenings. The decor is vintage, yet tasteful, the vibes are classy without being too pretentious, you'll have a great time if you visit any time of the day, as you can park yourself on the park bench, and indulge in your newspaper, or you can get some tickets come back in the evening and sit through an amazing experience of this theater mahic we got going on, but once you leave, there is coming back, but dont forget your Rolls Royce umbrella and be sure to collect your Grey Poupon on your way out. Hope to see ya soon, cheers!

It was an honor and a pleasure to attend an orchestral symphony at the Latvian National Opera House. My parents used to go to the opera house back in the 1930-1940s. Today, I was able to go with my daughter and my wonderful Latvian relatives. The ambiance was fabulous and you could feel the past visit the present. Architecturally perfect from the old days. A must see. We purchased tickets ahead of time and walked in with no problems. There are ushers to seat you. Parking is a problem so it is best to be dropped off or use Bolt, their rideshare company. Be sure and walk around the beautiful gardens.

Location is extremely convenient to get to from the city, not sure about parking as we walked from the town centre. Beautiful interiors and exteriors. Relatively comfortable seating, unfortunately not all seats show full coverage of the stage, the seats towards the edges show approx 2/3rd of the stage and 1/3 of the orchestra so would recommend setting towards the centre. Sound and lighting was good. The furniture is a bit dated and creaks could be heard during performances. The stairwell carpets need to be replaced as they smelt awful and looked quite dated. Cloakroom is free.

Inaugurada em 1863, a Ópera Nacional da Letônia, situada em Riga, é um marco cultural com uma história rica. O edifício original sofreu um incêndio em 1882, sendo reconstruído e reaberto em 1887. Desde então, tem sido um centro vital para as artes performáticas na Letônia, oferecendo um palco para óperas, balés e concertos de renome internacional. Relevância Atual Hoje, a Ópera Nacional da Letônia continua a desempenhar um papel crucial na cena cultural do país. Apresenta uma programação diversificada que inclui tanto clássicos do repertório operístico quanto obras contemporâneas. A instituição é conhecida por sua qualidade artística, atraindo talentosos músicos, cantores e dançarinos de todo o mundo. Localização e Roteiro Localizada no centro de Riga, a Ópera é facilmente acessível e é uma parada imperdível em qualquer roteiro cultural pela cidade. O edifício fica próximo ao Rio Daugava e ao icônico Monumento da Liberdade, permitindo que os visitantes explorem várias atrações nas imediações. Recomenda-se reservar um tempo antes ou após o espetáculo para apreciar a arquitetura neoclássica do prédio e seus belos jardins circundantes. Curiosidades Pouco Conhecidas e Algo Único Um fato pouco conhecido sobre a Ópera Nacional da Letônia é que o auditório foi construído com uma acústica excepcionalmente projetada para destacar a pureza do som, uma característica que poucos teatros no mundo possuem. Além disso, a Ópera é o lar do tradicional festival “White Nights”, que ocorre anualmente em junho e é dedicado à celebração da música e da luz, coincidindo com os longos dias de verão da Letônia. Este festival oferece uma experiência única que só pode ser vivida em Riga.
