Top Opera Houses in Odessa Oblast

Try to catch a performance on a weekday instead of the weekend. I found the tickets were cheaper and the crowd was much more manageable.

Wander around the lobby before the show starts. The architecture inside is stunning, and you can take some gorgeous photos without the crowd.

If you plan to have a snack or drink, head to the bar early. It gets super busy right before showtime, and I had to rush to my seat once!
