    Unfortunately, I have not attended any performances, so my review is purely for the building. It is an imposing neoclassical structure designed to host opera and ballet performances as well as theatrical plays.

    I visited the big theater in Warsaw and saw the ballet Sukhishvili. The ballet itself was great, but the theater also left a pleasant impression. The building is grand and the staff was nice.

    My first opera in my life in such a beautiful theatre in Warsaw. It was incredible, such an amazing combination the play of the actors, technology, and the singing is so strong that they don’t even need a microphone. My impressions - so adorable…

    We attended this theatre to watch the opera Aida on Saturday, 3rd February 2024. The building is, of course, relatively new, but it is nonetheless beautiful. From the sweeping staircase to the large amounts of space, we were quite comfortable. The bars served drinks and provided small sweet snacks, which is great if you (like us), decided on having a late lunch / early dinner. Into the auditorium, quite modern, comfortable seating with a huge stage, breathtaking. Aida Being our favourite opera, we have been fortunate enough to watch this in over a dozen countries. The performances were very good, especially the role of Aida and the chorus quite amazing - thank you! The orchestra was also very good, if not a little over zealous (always difficult to balance the music with the singing). If someone had sat in a seat in the circle during dress rehearsal, this could have been addressed. However, this did not detract from the production. The concept was inspired, which translated into the sets and the transitions between scenes, all of which were brilliant As a production, I would gladly watch this again and again. It has a place in our top three! Many thanks for a most enjoyable evening 😀

    Went to see Dracula ballet and it was amazing. Great music, amazing performances, beautiful decors. The snacks and beverages areas are offering pre-order to avoid long queues during the break, make sure to arrive a bit before the show to have enough time to locate your seat, the closest buffet area and make your pre-order.

    Very good ambience and good shows and artist performs here. Very centrally located with lot of parking space and connectivity around. Good cafe inside, however not much to offer.

    Being a ballet lover, I am never disappointed. Dancers of Polish National Ballet are world-class top level artists. What’s important, the range of ticket prices really allows nearly anyone and everyone to enjoy their performances. If you’re visiting, it’s definitely a must — not only for the show, but also to visit the theater from the inside…after all it’s the biggest stage in Europe!

    (Translated by Google) Before entering, you can already see the enormity of the building and decorations. Inside it is only better - beautiful finishes and decorations are breathtaking. Whenever I go to a performance, I can't watch myself. Helpful and smiling staff. Perfectly staged plays adorned by great actors. What more could you ask for from a theater. I would highly recommend (Original) Przed wejściem już widać ogrom budynku jak i zdobień. W środku jest już tylko lepiej - piękne wykończenia i zdobienia zapierają dech. Zawsze gdy idę na spektakl nie mogę się naogladać. Pomocny i uśmiechnięty personel. Doskonale wystawiane sztuki okrasą których są wspaniale grający aktorzy. Czegóż można chcieć więcej od teatru. Gorąco polecam

    (Translated by Google) Great atmosphere, which is spoiled by people in sweaters and sneakers. However, Opera obliges you to a certain elegance, you put on a sweater - go to a cabaret, pub ... Don't spoil the atmosphere at the Opera! (Original) Super atmosfera, która trochę psują ludzie w sweterkach i trampkach. Jednak Opera zobowiązuje do pewnej elegancji, zakładasz sweter-idź do kabaretu, pubu... Nie psuj atmosfery w Operze!

    An extreme beautiful building, the interior and the halls are mesmerizing. The staff is polite and during an opera everything is organized in a well manner. We been to see Aida which was an impressive opera. The crowd is beautiful, all the chic and well behaved people. Highly recommend to try this experience. One down side would be the huge queue to the toilets during the break, not sure if it can be improved as the building is quite old and not sure if there can be any changes made. I

    Beautiful building with wide corridors. Very beautiful chandeliers. Several cafes where you can drink coffee, eat cake or drink a glass of wine.

  • 5/5 Daniela M. 2 years ago on Google
    The place to be for cultural events of the highest quality. I especially recommend fantastic ballet shows; the stage is one of the biggest in the world, and its volume, combined with choreography, always leaves me in awe.

  • 5/5 Vlad Y. 4 years ago on Google
    A very beautiful place, it is a pity that I was not able to attend the premiere of some performance. On my next visit to Warsaw, I’ll definitely get to the premiere of the play.

  • 5/5 James 2 years ago on Google
    Very good opera theatre, modern but luxurious at the same time. The view of the stage is pretty good, probably the subtitles are a bit too tiny from the highest stalls. Ushers are very polite and they can help you find your seat. Wardrobe at the entrance and bar to have a snack (or a tiramisù) during breaks.

    A beautiful place hosting great artists. The national opera has a beautiful building with a sizeable parking which costs 4 PLN per hour (1 EUR). The interior is magnificent but the seats not really comfortable. Clean and tidy toilets, some costumes from operas on display.

    Great atmosphere, great acoustic, beautiful place. So far been there for two operas and definitely will go for more. People at the counter are very friendly and helpful. Very smooth entrance and exit, good choice of drinks and snacks during breaks, maybe can use a bit more seating. Anyway recommended :)

    I just loved this building. I'm not a big fun of modern opera houses, but in this case, the pols were left with no other choice after the war. The acoustics are awesome and the quality of the productions amazing! I just came to see that everything I imagined about Polish musicians was true. They are extremely professional!

    The biggest theatre in Europe, probably by some distance, one of the biggest stages in the world, absolutely marvelous performances and breathtaking scenographies made entirely by the theatre's numerous artists and craftsmen. Worth every penny.
