Oper der Stadt Koln Description

As with a number of German cities, Cologne lost its opera house to Allied bombs during the war. The Grosses Haus of the Oper der Stadt Köln, which seats 1,346, was a controversial building when it opened in 1957 with its five jutting balconies in a trapeze-shaped building made of concrete, glass and brick. The season basically runs from September until early July. A schedule can be ordered by writing to the box office. Vorverkaufskasse-Oper der Stadt Köln, Offenbachplatz, 5000 Köln 1, Germany

Tips

The availability of tickets depends on the production. A repertory opera with house singers is much easier than a new production with name singers. Because of the small size of the house and the fact that name singers may not play here as often as other houses, tickets can be difficult to obtain at times. Tickets go on sale two weeks before the performance. The box office is open weekdays 11am-2 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. and one hour before the performance and Saturday from 11am-2 p.m.
