opera houses
Grand musical theaters
Opera houses are theaters designed or designated for staging operas—large-scale musical dramas combining orchestral music, singing, and theatrical performance.
The architecture typically features exceptional acoustics, an orchestra pit, and tiered seating: La Scala is among the world's most celebrated opera houses.
Major cities often treat their opera house as a cultural landmark.
