Landestheater Coburg

Landestheater Coburg is an opera house and performance venue located on the central Schlossplatz square with Neoclassical architecture and seating for approximately 550 guests. It hosts theatrical and cultural performances throughout the year across multiple genres.

The institution was established in 1827 by Duke Ernst I as the Herzoglich-Sächsisches Hoftheater. The current building opened in 1840 to accommodate the growing demand for theatrical performances.

The theater presents opera, operetta, drama, and ballet spanning from classical to contemporary works. These performances shape the cultural life and artistic tastes of the local community.

The venue is easy to reach in downtown Coburg and offers clear access to the square and building. Information about performances and bookings can be obtained at the ticket office in the GLOBE Coburg shopping area.

The theater maintains a permanent staff of approximately 250 people and around 100 part-time workers, making it one of the region's significant employers. This workforce allows the venue to sustain a diverse and high-quality program throughout the year.
