Hungarian State Opera House
The opera house, today known as the Hungarian State Opera House, was commissioned for the commemoration of the Hungarian millennial in 1896. Miklós Ybl, Hungary's most important architect at the time wanted the new opera house to rival those in Paris, Vienna and Dresden.
The grand building took nearly a decade to complete, with construction beginning in 1875 and finishing in 1884. Budapest residents view it as one of the most important historical buildings in the city.
