We strongly recommend that you see the interior of the Opera House designed by Miklós Ybl and completed in 1884. Inside decorations are superb and lavish, they strike. The ceiling in the main auditorium where hangs a three ton bronze chandelier was frescoed by Károly Lotz.
If you want to see just the building, and not an opera, you can take a tour. Tours are conducted in English, German, French, Hungarian and some other European languages and take about an hour, beginning at 15:00 and 16:00.

This is quite a beautiful building and very innovative. I would like to see the performance space. Have you attended a performance there? Are the acoustics good? Sometimes concert halls have to be “tuned” for optimal acoustics. I've even found some video about the building - http://file.sh/opera+house+torrent.html
It is lovely indeed, and with the palace opposite it's an interesting architectural pair.
Unfortunately, we haven't been to a performance yet, but we didn't hear anyone saying that their acoustics is bad.
