List of opera houses

List of opera houses

"Opera houses are listed by continent, then by country with the name of the opera house and city; the opera company is sometimes named for clarity. Note: there are many theatres whose name includes the words "Opera House" but which do not currently put on opera regularly (or, in some cases, at all). Such theatres are not included in this list."
