National Opera and Ballet Theatre

One of the capital’s signature buildings, the National Opera and Ballet Theatre, is a must visit for those looking to experience the best that the country has to offer when it comes to both culture and architecture. This Brutalist beauty was opened to the public in 1974, and its interior is a thing to behold. On entering you’re struck by the red carpet that lines the ascending staircases, as well as the retro futurist conical chandeliers that are suspended from the ceiling. Opera, ballet, even specially curated cinematic events - the theatre is the home of the biggest ticket performances of the season. And although you might come for the art, you can’t leave without sampling their famous hot chocolate, or twinkling glass of fizzing champagne.
