Hala says
The building covers 7,730 square metres, which made it Europe's third-largest opera house by floor area when it opened in 1897. It seats 1,300 today. Even if you're not an opera person: the architecture tour (45 minutes, daily 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., €12) is the visit on its own. If your trip overlaps with a performance, the cheap seats are €30 and the building does most of the work.
