Originally known as the Hungarian Royal Opera House, the Hungarian State Opera House is a historic opera house located in central Budapest. From its limestone façade to its stunning parlours, the Neo-Renaissance palace has been open to opera and ballet lovers for more than 130 years. Franz Joseph I and Queen Sissi trod the marble steps of the Royal Staircase that lead up to the salons on the first floor. The upstairs gallery opening from the staircase leads to the magnificent Bertalan Székely Parlour. Besides the rich oak woodwork, the other main ornament in this room is Bertalan Székely’s Rococo-style frieze entitled The Four Seasons. There’s no official dress code to attend a show, but dress to impress.
