Pfalztheater

The Pfalztheater is an opera house and theatre in Kaiserslautern featuring postmodern architecture and showcasing three artistic disciplines: music, drama, and dance. The building presents performances ranging from classical to contemporary works for audiences seeking diverse theatrical experiences.

The original theatre was founded in 1862, but after destruction it was later rebuilt at the site. Following severe damage during World War II, the company moved to a former cinema building where it has remained.

This venue brings together audiences who want to experience opera, theatre, and dance performances in one place. The productions connect people to different stories and artistic expressions throughout the year.

The venue keeps visitors informed through regular newsletters and program updates about upcoming shows. Student subscriptions offer reduced-price access to multiple productions throughout the season.

During wartime, artists continued performing in a cinema, showing how vital theatre was to the community. This temporary cinema home later became the permanent venue for the company.
