Theatre Square is the place where this famous Grand Theatre of Warsaw is located and it's also known as Great Theatre - National Opera. While we were walking from our hotel to the Old Town, we crossed through Theatre Square and Grand Theatre was standing tall and introducing itself to every person passing by. When we crossed through, we didn't know which building is this but it certainly came across as some special building in Warsaw City.
Grand Theatre National Opera Warsaw was built approximately 200 years ago in Warsaw city and has witnessed some of the important historical events of Warsaw City in Poland. It's the place for Opera, Ballet and drama companies to perform. As Polish opera evolved, Grand Theatre of Warsaw saw those transitions and some of the world famous opera artists, composers and choreographers have performed at the Great Theatre National Opera of Warsaw.

If you are in Warsaw and get to know about any Opera show happening in Grand Theatre, try to get a pass/ticket and experience something which is hard to find in other locations of the world. I would even consider attending other drama plays or ballet if there are shows in the city.
Over past 170+ years the Grand Theatre has been Poland's grandest opera and ballet company. Classical opera is also performed at the Grand Theatre. Company's repertory includes some of the best operas by the major figures of opera (past & present).

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling -
- Manage your waste well and don’t litter
- Use dustbins. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin.
- Avoid bottle waters in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem.
- Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits.
- Don't play loud blaring music in forests of jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite
