Guided tours

peek behind the scenes

On a guided tour, you will see the everyday life of the Opera House and learn how much professional skills are required to create a succesfull performance.

The tours are conducted in Finnish and last approximately an hour. The tour starts from the ticket sales lobby (Alfons lobby) on the Töölönlahti entrance side. We will provide more information about the tours on this page.
