Opera first came to Romania in 1722, when Livio Cinti and his "opera singers" passed through Bucharest while on tour. The Bucharest National Opera House moved to the luxurious headquarters it occupies today in 1954, with works by Tchaikovsky and Coppelia being among the first performances.
Today the house maintains a classic repertoire including Mozart, Wagner, Verdi, Rossini, Puccini and, of course, George Enescu. A statue of the great Romanian composer stands proudly at the front of the building.
For full details of this season's performances, please consult the National Opera website.
