Opernplatz, Central square in Bankenviertel, Frankfurt, Germany.
Opernplatz stands in front of the Old Opera House, surrounded by seven streets including the luxury shopping destination Goethestraße and dining-focused Große Bockenheimer Straße.
The square gained prominence in 1978 when the Lord Mayor initiated the Opera Square Festival as appreciation for residents during the Alte Oper construction period.
The Opera Square Festival, held annually from June to July, brings together classical concerts, modern music performances, and international culinary experiences.
The square connects to multiple transportation routes, with direct access from Hauptwache station to Alte Oper station and an underground parking facility.
From its central position, visitors can observe the contrast between the classical Old Opera House and modern Deutsche Bank towers defining Frankfurt's skyline.
