The Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Wivi Lönn designed the prestigious Art Nouveau building, which still serves as the home of the National Opera today. The inauguration ceremony took place on August 24, 1913. At that time, when Estonia was still under Russian rule, it was the largest new building in all of Tallinn. One wing was intended as a theater, the other as a concert hall. Both parts of the building were connected by a restaurant, which today serves as a small event hall.
