The Opera in Bratislava is popular among international visitors - for its quality as well as favourable prices. The Opera of the Slovak National Theatre is located in a Habsburg-era building right in the center of the city on Hviezdoslavovo Square.Opera performances are subtitled in Slovak or German, so it is advisable for English-language speakers to familiarise themselves with the plot in advance. Performances usually start at 7 pm. Find the schedule at the Slovak National Theatre website.
