2 reviews of Sureyya Opera House

A night at the opera Turkish

In Ecuador on Avenue Bahariye, getting off the tram you see the lovely historic Sureya Opera building. It has art deco architecture, was created in 1927 and belongs to the district of Kadikoy under the rule of secular-leaning Republicans.

For this reason, visitors can enjoy German Classics, French and Italian as well as pieces of opera and contemporary Turkish ballet simply at ridiculous prices. The acoustics and the beauty have little to envy to places like the London Royal Opera House and the Teatro de la Zarzuela but its small size is the single biggest obstacle.
