Festspielhaus Baden-Baden

The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden is a modern opera and concert venue in Baden-Baden with seating for around 2,500 people. The building features specially designed acoustics and technical systems optimized for orchestral performances.

The building was completed in 1998 following designs by architect Wilhelm Holzbauer and incorporates parts of a 19th-century railway station. This transformation made it Germany's largest opera and concert complex.

The venue hosts opera, ballet, and orchestral performances where artists and audiences from around the world come together. These events shape the rhythm of the year and regularly draw people who value classical music experiences.

You can reach the venue using a dedicated bus service available from several cities in the region. It is best to plan ahead to arrange the most convenient travel option for your visit.

The interior shows visible traces of the former railway station architecture that has been integrated into the modern design. This blend creates an unexpected dialogue between different architectural eras in one location.
