Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden in one of the most beautiful places in Riga, near Latvian National Opera house. Please hide cache exactly as you found it!

The history surrounding the National Opera is more than 250 years long. During the period of time from 1837 to 1839 Richard Wagner was the chapel-master of Riga, and was involved in opera life. The current theatre, affectionately known as “The White House” was built as a national theatre in 1863, on the site of an old German theatre. After a fire in 1882, the theatre was rebuilt to its current state. The theatre become the National Opera House in 1919, and the National Theatre moved elsewhere.
