The Frankfurt Opera, located in the impressive double theater complex on Willy-Brandt-Platz, is one of the most renowned musical theaters in Europe. Its origins date back to 1792 - the current venue was built in 1963 as a modern ensemble project that combines opera and drama under one roof.
Built in neo-Gothic style, the opera house has 1,300 seats and a state-of-the-art infrastructure, including hearing technology for a barrier-free artistic experience. The outstanding artistic quality is reflected in numerous awards: under the direction of artistic director Bernd Loebe, the opera house has won the title of Opera House of the Year several times. Oper Frankfurt offers around 11 new productions and 15 revivals every year, including world premieres such as Orff's Carmina Burana or contemporary commissions, and maintains a permanent ensemble and its own opera studio for young talent development.
The in-house Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra looks back on more than 200 years of history, with renowned general music directors such as Georg Solti and Sebastian Weigle and a wide-ranging repertoire from baroque to modern. The program ranges from Mozart and Wagner to avant-garde music theater projects. With specialized educational formats, workshops, hearing aids and a barrier-free environment, Oper Frankfurt shows that culture is for everyone.
Whether large-scale operas, intimate chamber concerts or innovative music theater formats - Oper Frankfurt stands for the highest musical and scenic quality. As the cultural heart of the city, it inspires with tradition, modernity and social reach.
