The Forest Opera is an open-air amphitheatre with roofing. Experts say it is one of the most beautiful of its type in Europe with excellent sound qualities. The theatre, covering 4 hectares, can seat 4400 and the orchestra pit can accommodate 110 musicians. Both classical and popular music concerts are organised at the Opera, such as the Sopot Festival – a fixture on the Sopot calendar for 40 years – and the Opera Festival – organised to continue the pre-war tradition of the Wagner Festival which in the early years of the 20th Century made Sopot famous under the nick-name of ‘ Little Bayreuth’. The Opera also provides a venue for many entertainment events and one-off concerts.
