Beautiful building, magnificent interior, it’s worth spending time waiting. Inside you will spent 20-30min which every is worth visiting opera. Be warned that tickets are hard to get online (2 weeks in advance sold) but you can buy tickets directly inside if you pass your time in entry queue. recommended
We came on a Thursday and instead of paying 15 euro there was a 5 euro discount for some reason so we only paid 10 euro inside at the ticket machine. When we entered around 10am there was a good amount of people there already. The interior is just gorgeous. We spent a good 1.5 hours inside. nice
