Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater

The Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater is an opera house in Annaberg-Buchholz featuring two performance stages housed within a classical building designed to accommodate musical theater and dramatic works. The spaces range from intimate settings to larger halls suitable for major opera productions and orchestral performances.

The building opened in 1893 according to a design by architect Bernhard Schreiber and was originally named Neues Stadt-Theater-Annaberg. It received its present name in 1981 as a tribute to actor Eduard von Winterstein, who had ties to the region.

The theater serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for musical performances, concerts, and dramatic productions, shaping the cultural life of the town. These regular opera and orchestral events connect visitors throughout the year in a shared experience.

You can buy tickets at the box office in the main entrance hall or through the theater's online booking system. Checking the performance schedule ahead of time helps you plan your visit and find shows that match your interests.

During summer months, the company performs at Naturtheater Greifensteine, an outdoor venue near Ehrenfriedersdorf, bringing productions to a natural setting. This seasonal expansion allows audiences to experience performances in a different environment away from the traditional indoor stage.
