Opernhaus Düsseldorf Concerts 2024

I like the dated elegance of this building. They have great events and performances happening each month, there’s always something to look forward to.

A superb experience watching Giselle ballet. A warm atmosphere, nice bar outside. Not like the old classical opera but nice.

Incredible place. Highly recommend the behind the scenes tour, it was so interesting to see how it all works. Our guide, Aki was fantastic. Saw Turandot a few days later and it was enlightening knowing the backstage workings a bit more.

My first Wagner opera in live performance. Axel Kober and all the cast did outstanding job. The orchestra sounded close to perfection, wind instruments were so clean and sensitive (what a dynamic range and incredible phrasings!). Singers performed greatly as well. Mime’s artistic acting should be noted separately. Even though in general I dislike modernist, so called regietheater stagings, this one was quite interesting with many symbolic elements. Lighting, stage design, costumes were quite interesting too. So, kudos to everyone! Audience was well mannered without creating unnecessary noises with mobiles and movements. The hall itself is rather small but cosy, acoustics is top notch. Highly recommend to visit.

Nestled on one corner of the Köningsallee. This is an old theater that must have witnessed a lot of mind blowing performances unfold. I went for a Ballet performance and was very happy with the show. Yes it's an old building that needs a good repair since I also had an experience of visiting the Opera at Dresden and it was out of the world experience with my beloved friend. So I can make a comparison. This for sure needs great beautification and work to make the performances that are going to unfold in the near future more memorable and enjoyable.
