About

A cornerstone of Tallinn’s cultural landscape, the Estonian National Opera blends artistic excellence with architectural elegance in the heart of the city. Housed in a grand neoclassical building opened in 1913, this storied venue offers a rich programme of opera, ballet, and musical theatre performed by some of Estonia’s finest talents. The building itself, reconstructed after wartime damage, stands as a symbol of resilience and national pride. Inside, gilded details, plush interiors, and superb acoustics create an atmosphere that elevates every performance. The repertoire spans from beloved classics to bold contemporary works, reflecting a commitment to both tradition and innovation. Whether attending an evening show or admiring its façade during a city stroll, a visit to the Estonian National Opera offers a glimpse into Estonia’s refined artistic spirit—and an unforgettable cultural experience in the Baltic’s northern gem.
