Opera houses are listed by continent, then by country with the name of the opera house and city; the opera company is sometimes named for clarity.
Note: there are many theatres whose name includes the words Opera House but which do not currently put on opera regularly (or, in some cases, at all). Such theatres are not included in this list.
However, in some cases, articles exist for historically important houses which no longer present opera or which may have been destroyed. These articles will remain on this list.

“It breedeth no small offence and scandal to see and consider upon the one part the curiosity and cost bestowed by all sorts of men upon their private houses; and on the other part the unclean and negligent order and spare keeping of the houses of prayer by permitting open decays and ruins of coverings of walls and windows, and by appointing unmeet and unseemly tables with foul cloths for the communion of the sacrament.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
