Staatstheater Nürnberg, Opera house

The Staatstheater Nürnberg is a German theatre company in Nuremberg, Bavaria. The theatre is one of four Bavarian state theatres and shows operas, plays, ballets and concerts.

History

[edit]

Its main venue, the opera house ("Opernhaus Nürnberg"), is one of the largest theatres in Germany. It was built from 1903 to 1905 in Art Nouveau style by the architect Heinrich Seeling. Until 1 January 2005, it was known as the "Städtische Bühnen Nürnberg". Other venues are the play house (Schauspielhaus Nürnberg) including the small stages "Kammerspiele" and "BlueBox", and the Meistersingerhalle where the concerts of the orchestra (the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg) are held.

From 2018[1] to 2023,[2] the company's Generalmusikdirektorin (General Music Director) was Joana Mallwitz, the first female conductor to be named GMD of the company.[3] In November 2022, the company announced the appointment of Roland Böer as its next GMD, effective with the 2023-2024 season.[4]
