The opera complex has five halls. Performances by the Cairo Opera and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra tend to be held in its Main Hall while recitals, theatre and dance from Egypt and the rest of the world in its Small Hall, Gomhouria Theatre, Arab Music Institute and an open-air theatre. Jacket and tie are required by males for Main Hall performances (travellers have been known to borrow them from staff). Programs are available at the information window (right of the main entrance) .

Sound and Light Show
The Sphinx narrates the somewhat cheesy sound and light show, but it’s neat to see the Pyramids so dramatically lit. Though there’s officially no student discount, you may be able to negotiate one. Schedules were as follows at the time of writing, but check the website for the latest. Note that this is the winter schedule; in summer shows start two hours later.
