Opera at Palau de les Arts Valencia

Opera at Palau de les Arts Valencia is unlike anything else on the European cultural map. While most of the continent's great opera houses draw their prestige from centuries of tradition, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía draws its from sheer architectural ambition and a remarkably rapid rise to international standing. Opened in 2005 as the crowning piece of Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences, it is both the youngest major opera house in Spain and one of its most visually extraordinary — a building that looks as much like a sculpture as a theatre.

For visitors planning an evening in Valencia, the Palau offers something genuinely singular: world-class opera and orchestral music inside a building by Santiago Calatrava that has become one of the city's most recognisable landmarks.
