Guided Tour
Why are there so many monitors in the main hall and the orchestra pit? How many costumes are there in our costume store? Where is the highest workstation and what does a chaser do?
On the guided tours for families through the Düsseldorf Opera House we discover the world of opera together! Parents and children are invited to ask everything they always wanted to know about the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, its history and secrets.
The insights we can give you into opera house operations depend on the performance schedule and the current daily rehearsal schedule.
