The Stopera is a building complex in Amsterdam, Netherlands, housing both the city hall of Amsterdam and the Dutch National Opera and Ballet (formerly Het Muziektheater), the principal opera house in Amsterdam that is home of Dutch National Opera, Dutch National Ballet and Holland Symfonia. The building was designed by Wilhelm Holzbauer and Cees Dam.
The name is portmanteau of "st"adhuis (Dutch: "city hall") and "opera". Because the word 'Stopera' was a name for the protests against the building, the theater has never used this name in its communication.
