Yes you can purchase tickets online, however at a reduced rate to standard price as you can’t see the whole opera house due to renovations, but you do see quite a bit of rooms which reflects in reduced price and have mini opera concert at the end that lasts around 15 minutes which is very good. You still have the option to purchase tickets on the day, which tours are on set times throughout the day. Well worth a visit
Q:

A:
Mostly mondays are closed for museums

The main opera house will not be open until spring or summer 2020. We were there in May abd our guide said construction is behind schedule. You can tour the main stairs, the buffet lounge, the smoking room, and another hallway now. At the end of the tour, 2 singers will sing short arias and duets. This tour takes about 45 minutes
