The Wrocław Opera is a very interesting place, not only because of its artistic but also architectural values. It is located in close proximity to the market square, which makes it an easily accessible tourist attraction for hikers. It can also be said that it lies in a certain kind of artistic line with the Puppet Theater and the National Forum of Music. We also highly recommend both of these places.

Wroclaw Opera - building

The building of the Municipal Theater was built at 35 Świdnicka Street in the years 1839–1841. The architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans was responsible for the design of this building. His design assumed a modern stage and an audience of approximately 1,600 seats.

Unfortunately, however, the interior of the building was damaged in two fires 2 in 1865 and in 1871. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the building was rebuilt during the renovation. On the basis of a new design by Karl Schmidt, the auditorium and the superstage were raised, a painting pavilion was built and the exterior was decorated with paintings. An addition that has survived to this day, but in a slightly changed form, are sculptures of muses standing on the edge of the roof.

In the very richly decorated interior, most of the decorations from the nineteenth century have been preserved, mainly the area gilded with real gold, which is about 10,000 square meters, crystal mirrors with an area of 200 square meters, and the imperial box. As you can see in the opera house, everyone will have the opportunity to see themselves, if not in a mirror, but in a gilded surface.
