Oper Leipzig
Oper Leipzig is one of Europe’s great musical stages, uniting opera, operetta, musicals, and ballet under one roof. With roots reaching back to 1693, it is the second oldest municipal music theatre in Germany and the third oldest in Europe. The current opera house on Augustusplatz, opened in 1960, is a listed building and a striking example of post-war modernist architecture, seating over 1,270 guests in its trapezoidal auditorium renowned for excellent acoustics. Oper Leipzig is home to the world-famous Gewandhausorchester, an acclaimed ensemble of soloists, a celebrated choir, and the Leipzig Ballet, ensuring a rich and diverse program that spans from Baroque masterpieces to contemporary premieres. Alongside the main stage, the Musikalische Komödie in Haus Dreilinden specializes in operetta and musical theatre, adding further breadth to the repertoire. Internationally recognized for its artistic excellence, Oper Leipzig also plays a central role in the city’s cultural life, hosting festivals, collaborations, and educational projects that connect tradition with innovation. As a cornerstone of Leipzig’s musical heritage, it continues to captivate audiences with performances that blend history, artistry, and modern vision.
