Staatstheater Braunschweig

Staatstheater Braunschweig is an opera house and theatre featuring white stone columns and symmetrical proportions in neoclassical style. The building displays geometric facade elements and spacious interiors with multiple performance spaces designed for different types of shows.

The building was completed and opened in 1861 by architects Carl Wolf and Hermann Ahlburg. Since then, it has developed into an important cultural center for the city and stands as evidence of 19th-century theatre architecture.

This theatre serves as a main venue for opera, drama, and concerts in the city. The performances range from classical works to contemporary productions and draw regular audiences from the surrounding region.

The theatre is open for performances from Tuesday to Sunday, and offers guided tours of the building during daytime hours. Visitors should check the current programme in advance and arrive early for better seating options.

The theatre collaborates with schools, allowing students to observe rehearsals and learn from stage technicians. This direct access lets young people see behind the scenes of a professional opera house.
