I don't think this is being proud Latvian, it is simply on the TO DO list on anyone who is a visitor or lives here. Very good plays - opera and ballet. The building itself is worth seeing.

I have to say that this was a fantastic experience. We reserved our seats through our hotel... More

We saw the nutcracker here and what a amazing place it was! Get dressed up and enjoy a unbelievable sight! It has been kept well and still boasts it original features.
