Budapest - State Opera Allami Operaház

|
Miklós Ybl drew up the plans for the prestigious Hungarian State Opera (Allami Operaház), which was built between 1875 and 1884 in Neo-Renaissance style. It was renovated a few years ago at considerable expense.
The interior boasts a magnificent foyer with a double marble staircase. The auditorium possesses unusually good acoustics. The ceiling frescos by Károly Lotz and the wall-paintings by Mór Than are masterpieces of their kind.
