Darmstadt State Theater, State theater in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Staatstheater Darmstadt contains two performance spaces, with the main hall accommodating 956 spectators and the smaller venue seating 482 visitors.
The theater's origins trace back to 1711 when Elisabeth Dorothea von Hessen-Darmstadt inaugurated the first theater building with Christoph Graupner's opera Telemach.
The theater presents a diverse program of opera, ballet, theatrical plays, and concerts as the primary cultural institution in the state of Hesse.
The facility underwent extensive renovations between 2002 and 2006, resulting in modernized technical equipment and improved audience amenities throughout both performance halls.
The current building, designed by architect Rolf Prange through a national competition in 1963, opened in 1972 with Beethoven's Fidelio in the main hall.
