Municipal Theater
You can see major operas in Frankfurt in two different houses -- one which looks old and one which looks new -- although both have had to be rebuilt. The Alte Oper was hit by Allied bombs in 1944 with only the facade and foyer remaining. It was gradually rebuilt beginning in 1971 and now is the scene of one opera a year. The rest of the productions are at the Städtische Bühnen, a modern complex which was hit by arson in 1987 and reopened in 1991.
Tickets can be bought at the box office 20 days before the performance at the box office which is open 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturdays as well as one hour before the performance. Tickets can be ordered four to six weeks ahead by writing to the box office. The season can vary depending on the school vacation schedule but usually runs from mid October to early July.
