Staatstheater Stuttgart
About

Staatstheater Stuttgart is Europe’s largest three-branch theatre, offering world-class opera, ballet, and drama in a historic and architecturally striking setting. Located in the heart of Stuttgart’s Schlossgarten, the theatre complex includes the neoclassical Opernhaus (Großes Haus) and the modern Schauspielhaus (Kleines Haus). Designed by Max Littmann and opened in 1912, the Opernhaus survived World War II largely intact and remains a cultural landmark. The Stuttgart Opera is internationally acclaimed for its innovative productions, while the Stuttgart Ballet has earned global recognition since the 1960s for its expressive choreography and artistic excellence. Schauspiel Stuttgart complements the ensemble with bold interpretations of classical and contemporary plays. The Staatstheater is known for its commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and artistic diversity, hosting premieres, festivals, and outreach programs throughout the year. It continues to shape Germany’s performing arts landscape with a dynamic blend of tradition and experimentation.
