Graz MNICHOVO HRADIŠTĚ STAVOVSKÉ DIVADLO Kačina Litomyšl Český Krumlov Weitra (Vitoraz) Grein Theatre an der Wien Graz – SchauspielHAUS Graz – OPERA Opera House The Graz Opera House is one of the most beautiful opera houses in Europe. On the Emperor Route, it is also a shining example of a theatre by Fellner Helmer, the famous duo of architects who, during the Austrian monarchy, built nearly 50 theatres. Inaugurated in 1899, the opera house features feudal foyers in the style of Fischer von Erlach and a splendid auditorium that combines Italian boxes with French balconies. Although it seats 1200 spectators, everyone is close to the action on stage. About 200 performances are offered every year, ranging from opera, operetta and musicals to dance and concerts. Located on the popular Emperor Josef Square just off the historic city centre, the opera house is the perfect starting point for a tour of the UNESCO World Heritage site combining Graz city centre and Eggenberg Palace.
