Landestheater Neustrelitz, Opera house and theater in Neustrelitz, Germany

The Landestheater Neustrelitz is a theatre building on Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Straße with around 400 seats in its main auditorium. It is the main stage of the Theater und Orchester GmbH Neubrandenburg/Neustrelitz, whose ensembles perform music theatre, drama, philharmonic concerts and ballet there. A bronze bust of writer Friedrich Wolf, the theatre's namesake from 1954, stands in front of the building.

A riding house stood behind today's theatre from 1755; in 1775 it became a comedy and ballroom, and from 1779 it was called the Mecklenburg-Strelitz Court Theatre. That building burned down in January 1924. Max Littmann designed the replacement, built 1925–1928 and opened on 2 June 1928 with Mozart's Così fan tutte. Burned in April 1945, it was rebuilt 1952–1954 with a modern interior.

The house ensemble of the Theater und Orchester GmbH Neubrandenburg/Neustrelitz performs music theatre, drama, philharmonic concerts and ballet evenings here. In summer the neighbouring Schlossgarten becomes the stage for the Schlossgartenfestspiele Neustrelitz, with open-air operetta and drama productions. A bronze bust of writer Friedrich Wolf, the theatre's namesake from 1954, stands in front of the building.

The theater sits on Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Straße 14 in the city center and is accessible for most visitors with some planning ahead. Check in advance about special offers and accommodations for people with mobility needs.

During summer months, performances move outdoors into the adjacent Schlossgarten, where operettas are staged under the open sky with views of the castle church. These open-air productions offer an experience that differs from what visitors find in other seasons.
