Chemnitz Opera

Chemnitz Opera is a cultural building in the city center with seating for approximately 720 people. The building features a decorative facade and interior details from the early 1900s, creating a formal setting for performances.

This building opened in 1909, designed by architect Richard Möbius as a new cultural venue. It suffered damage during World War II but was fully restored and reopened between 1947 and 1951.

This opera house is a living center for performing arts in Chemnitz, where opera, ballet, and symphonic concerts bring together audiences throughout the year. Visitors can experience how the space connects people through shared cultural moments.

The opera house is located at Theaterplatz in central Chemnitz and is easy to find in the city center. A restaurant next door in the Chemnitzer Hof hotel offers dining options around performance times.

The opera house has gained attention for staging rare works, such as the 2013 production of Vasco de Gama, an earlier version of Meyerbeer's L'Africaine. This commitment to lesser-known compositions sets it apart from more conventional programming.
