Budapest’s Opera House is worth a tour, even if you don’t choose to see an opera there. There are afternoon tours each day.
The building, built in 1884, features 7 kilos of gold and a huge chandelier. It’s not huge, but it is grand (although when I was there some Texan tourists - unsurprisingly - were remarking about how small it was), with ornate Egyptian touches to the mostly neo-Renaissance interior.
I’ve heard the opera productions here can be hit-or-miss, either wonderful or poor, since the best performers tend to move to more glamorous centres.
