Opened in 1988, the Opera House complex is a stunning jewel of postmodernist architecture incorporating Islamic and Pharaonic motifs. There are two opera halls, one of which is strictly jacket-and-tie while the other is a little more laid back. The complex also offers an open-air theatre and an amphitheatre for summer performances. There is always something going on here, usually more than one event per night, so it is advisable to call ahead or check local newspapers for a schedule. International music, ballet and opera troupes perform here throughout the year and tickets cost a fraction of what one would pay to see the same performance elsewhere.

It's somewhat of an oxymoron: Christmas in Cairo. But this staunchly Muslim city presents some of the Christian holiday's musical traditions beautifully. The Christmas Concert, as performed by the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, presents classic orchestral favorites and instrumental solos. The orchestra's A Capella Choir rounds out the vocal presentation. Ticket prices vary from EGP5 to EPG50, depending upon where you are seated, and tickets can be reserved up to one month in advance. Men are required to wear a jacket and tie to this performance, and children under seven are not allowed.
