The Operetta Theatre building used to give home to an Orpheum; the Budapest Operetta had moved here in the year 1923.
Full reconstruction was carried out between 1999 and 2001. The most advanced European stage machinery was installed, the beautiful original ornamentation was restored and the earlier row of boxes in the circle were also rebuilt. Today the theatre has 917 seats and the auditorium is air-conditioned.
Their primary goal has always been the preservation of traditions and finding new artistic solutions. Together with Vienna, Budapest is the capital of operetta and visitors can see for themselves the high standard of operetta performance.

I loved this place the music was beautiful, the acting involving, and building itself was lovely and full of life. I also liked that they provide an english version of the performance kind of like closed captioning.
