The opera was the main reason for our visit to Baden-Baden and we were not disappointed. World class performances by some of the world's best performers in a wonderful setting, from the stately facade to the modern interior.

I have attended 3 performances here--a dance concert, an opera and a classical music concert. The acoustics were extremely fine, the crowd elegant and enthusiastic and the prices fair. Top quality performers are attracted to this comfortable, relatively new opera house, which has a lovely policy of handing a rose to everyone as they exist.

I came all the way from the Netherlands to attend just one performance here (traveled on a Saturday for the performance, went back on Sunday). The reason I went there was to see the concert performance of La Straniera by the wonderful Edita Gruberova. I got there an hour before the performance started, had a glass of wine and a... More

I have attended several performances at the Festspielhaus and I think that there is not a bad seat in the theatre. I have never sat higher than the first balcony but having sat in a variety of locations, the seats offer a good view of the stage. One drawback to this facility is the parking garage. It is a circular... More

Great venue in good location. Theatre is amazing and huge. We sat way up the back but could see everything. After the show all the ladies were given a rose as we left the building which was a really nice touch!

We saw the revisor from Gogol and it was really fun and well done. We set at the first row for last minute tickets of 20€ each. It professionals and if you have a basic knowledge of German it is absolutely worth while see a play.

the purpose of my visit was to attend 3 events at the Festspielhaus. I was not disappointed. Though I had known the artists would be wonderful, the theatre itself was a delightful surprise, attractive, and very good acoustically. NEGATIVE SIDE: The concert hall and all rooms were extremely over heated at all performances, detracting from the pleasure of the events.
