Grand Opera House

  • October 26, 2007
  • Rated 3 of 5 by morph! from Belfast, United Kingdom
This has been part of Belfast life for many years - almost everyone's been to see something in the Opera House (most often the Christmas pantomime - always a lot of fun!)

The Opera House building itself is pretty old but recent years have seen a refurbishment and extension - the architecture of which meets with divided opinions among citizens here. I'm all for the very modern sitting alongside the antique-like old building, but many Belfast people think it's totally out of place. And, right in the centre of town, it's hard not to miss the Opera House.

Shows in the Opera House main auditorium are pretty expensive for people on a budget, but students can avail of half price seats if they wait until 6pm the day of performance - something I'm planning to try out pretty soon! Otherwise, the Baby Grand - not a piano (!) but a smaller auditorium - provides a brilliant night out at a fraction of the cost. This smaller auditorium houses independent productions, movie theme nights and concerts, etc. - one of my best evenings last year was when I got tickets to its Belfast Fashion Week shows.
