Estonian National Opera
The building of Estonian National Opera opened the doors in the
summer of 1913. The building was designed by Finnish architects
Armas Lindgren and Wiwi Lonn. During World War II the building was
destroyed. In 1947 it was redesigned by Estonian architects Alar
Kotli and Edgar Johan Kuusik. Renovation work started in 1997, including
exterior work to restore the original look of the roof with its
tower construction, as well as interior work to develop a unified
concept for the building and to increase the comfort level for guests
of the House.
The Estonian National Operas majestic White Hall (218,8 m2)
with its grand crystal chandeliers is an excellent place for festive
receptions, formal occasions and dancing parties. The hall is provided
with removable chairs (for 100 people) and tables. A bar is open
for the guests. Estonian National Opera offers singers and musicians
at your request.
In the Opera House, next to the theatre hall, is a spacious concert
hall for 790 listeners. Concert hall is operated by state organisation
Eesti Kontsert and it is the main concert place of the
Estonian Symphony Orchestra.
