★★★★★3 months agoThere are not words to describe the amazing experience we have ,every time we enter this magnificent and magical place. The building,the atmosphere the decoration and beautiful design create an wonderful journey to the core of each event, that be an opera , a concert or a theater unfolding before your eyes. The sound arrangements are excellent, and the seats are so comfy,with great view to the show. I will go again and again.
