The Estonian National Opera is Tallinn's main opera and ballet house, a working theatre in the heart of the city. It sits within the medieval walled town, where 2 km of standing wall, twenty surviving towers and a functioning 1404 town hall survive, and where the street plan has never been rationalised. Audiences come for opera and ballet performances, and the building is part of the same compact centre that draws visitors to Raekoja plats, Toompea and the cobbles between Pikk and Lai. Staying nearby puts the theatre within a short walk of the Old Town's hotels, so an evening performance is easy to reach on foot. The surrounding streets are quiet at 8am and busy at 1pm in July, when three cruise ships can be in and Viru gate becomes a slow-moving queue. For a theatre visit, the nearest hotels are concentrated in Tallinn, most within a few hundred metres of the building.
