I went to the production of Halka, one of the operas in the Polish canon and was very pleasantly surprised. The production, albeit small scale, managed to impress through quality of orchestral and.vocal singing, will definitely be searching for more from this Opera House. The building itself is an architectural gem of breathtaking beauty, I wanted to take a hundred pictures of the place. The only downside was the location of the toilets, they are not marked as such, took me a while till I found one.

An Italian opera company was established in Breslau in 1725 by Antonio Maria Peruzzi, following a split with Antonio Denzio with whom he had collaborated in the Peruzzi-Denzio company at the Sporck theatre in Prague. The Theater on the Cold Ashes was opened in 1755 by Franz von Schuch (1716–1764) and performed operas till his death in 1764.[ His son, Schuch the younger, brought the first operas of Johann Adam Hiller to the Theodor Lobe's theatre in Breslau in 1770. His successor Johann Christian Wäser introduced more, including local Singspiel translations of works by Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny. In 1804 Abbé Vogler invited Carl Maria von Weber to conduct the Breslau Opera when he was only 18. The opera house was constructed in 1841 to designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans, supervised by his son Carl Ferdinand. It was remodeled twice after fires in 1865 by Carl Johann Lüdecke [de] and 1871 by Karl Schmidt. After the first fire, Theodor Lobe in 1867 invited the young conductor Ernst Schuch (1846–1914) to begin his career at the theatre. After World War I notable productions during the interwar years included Schönberg's Die glückliche Hand (1928). The music directors in this period included Franz von Hoesslin who was forced to leave the city, and Germany, in 1928.

An absolute pleasure to visit the Opera House for a performance of Tosca, both the house and company are a real credit to the city. The building has some lovely features including a balcony overlooking the streets below which you can use in the intervals. Tosca was a very strong production with moving performances from the two leads. Bravo.

The performance is great. However, how does the dressing room (szatnia) cannot work in winter??? All attendees have Covid certificates, and sign corresponding papers. And instead of enjoying the performance, you have to either sit on your coat or leave it somewhere and nobody will be responsible for it Is this opera or bazaar?

I didn't manage to see a musical or opera on my visit - I arrived out of season - but there was a lovely little section set aside for children, where they could try out different outfits worn by the dancers. My two daughters loved it - thank you to the kind lady who worked there for giving them so much pleasure!

The Opera house had an open night and performed to the audience in the street. It was a brilliant night with a taste of the amazing orchestra,.dancers and singers. Thank you 😊

Saw Giselle the ballet. Wonderful performance. Buy tickets online and In advance. I got last ticket. Sold out house. We done amazing performance

The place is beautiful, and for the first time, I got to see an opera with subtitles in Polish and in English. It really makes the experience much better.

Went to see a Polish opera Halka which I enjoyed very much. High class singers, beautiful interior.

Very good quality of spectacles, performance and one of the best opera experience you can get in Poland

Amazing.

Impression from show was spoiled by a girl who sat next to me all time sneezing :( I worried that I can get ill by weekend and my vacation plans would be ruined. Why people do not wear masks when they are ill and go to such places?(( Theatre admistration also could have such reminder online, or on tickets, or on piece of paper hanging on the door!

It's a lovely refurbished opera house. Guided ceiling and sumptuous seating make the experience first class.

Not so noticeable at day time, but awesome in the evening with all those lights!

Very beautiful please. It is better to come early here because if you will come after the last call, when light off. it is possible that you can not get your seat. we faced with this situation and lady who responsible for the balcony tell us that we can not seat on our place only on the break. And we seat not in a good seat’s and it was not what we expected. so be careful and don’t be late

Stunning historical building.

This is the kind of place that seems very special for the locals were everyone dresses up to the nines. The standard of the performance was very good, certainly better than I anticipated. The seats on the fourth balcony - definitely not recommended. Virtually impossible to see anything from the seat if unless you lean forward/out or stand. Staff rather officious but lovely. If you're planning to visit, please do! But definitely avoid the top floor and definitely book in advance.

Amazingly beautiful venue. Friendly helpful staff. Easy to reach via tram. Very warm.

Great idea to show recorded performance just outside the building in the off-season!

Tosca - spectacular opera with good singers together with nice actors/actresses

We did not actually enter the building. We stood outside the opera for a festival, until the rain started, and it was awesome (not the rain part, not really).

Stunning opera house. We watched the Nutcracker here and loved every second of the experience.

It was my second visit. Both performances were with English subtitles. Bellow is the picture after the first action. During performance even sound recording is forbidden.

Beautiful events in a beautiful building

Fantastic production for children and families - highly professional and beautifully staged. A memorable experience.

Great place and amazing spectacle

You definitely need to visit it if you are looking for the listening of a good opera.

Compact and comfortable theater

Amazing, will visit again.

Problem with the tickets was solved quickly and professionally to my satisfaction. Thank you Opera Wrocławska

Beautiful theater and wonderful people. I am very happy to know it
