Take a look behind the scenes: on a tour of the opera house, we show you places that generally remain hidden from our audiences: ranging from the understage machinery, the wings and backstage areas and our huge costume store.

The insights we can give you into the opera house operations depend on the performance schedule and the current daily rehearsal schedule.

The tour takes place in German and is suitable for ages 12 and up.
For younger children, please note our special offer of the family tour or the special offers of the Junge Oper.

Please note the following information regarding accessibility before making your reservation.
