refurbishment takes place over the summer
The Opera House celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the building will be renovated and closed to visitors from 1 May to 31 August. The stage automation system of the Main Stage will be revamped, and the lobbies and foyers will see upgrades to the building systems as well as aesthetic improvements like repainting.
Our customer service point will be closed during the refurbishment, but we are still here to help. We’re at your service over the phone, via chat, and around the clock at our online store. You can also purchase tickets at the service desks of Stockmann department stores without reservation fees.
See Stockmann service desk opening times here. Please note that the Stockmann service desks charge a service fee of €1.50 per ticket, gift voucher or season ticket.

Don’t forget about the roadworks on Mannerheimintie
Major roadworks on Mannerheimintie between the Kiasma Museum of Modern Art and the Opera House will impact transport connections from March 2023. Tram lines 4 and 10 and some buses on Mannerheimintie will be diverted via Arkadiankatu and Runeberginkatu, resulting in a few extra minutes of travel time. Please check the HSL Route Planner for information about your public transport connections.
If you’re driving from Meilahti or Sörnäinen, routes to the Mäntymäenkenttä car park will not be affected, but expect possible congestion when arriving by private car.
Please note that the zebra crossing across Mannerheimintie from the Opera House towards Runeberginkatu (next to the corner of Carelia restaurant) is closed from week 11.
