Guided Tour

Guided Tour

Would you like to see more of Tallinn Opera House or learn about life of the Estonian National Opera and Ballet?

Join us for a 1-hour guided tour and gain an insight into some of the many facilities the Opera House has to offer and what goes on behind the scenes before the curtain rises. Maybe we can walk out onto the Main Stage, or visit the costume workshop or scenery painting room, and possibly even meet a singer or a dancer as we make our way around. Learn about the architecture, stagecraft, opera and ballet from our knowledgeable tour guides. Please note that the guided tour covers large distances and several stairs.
