Note on photography during opera house tours

A selfie in the foyer or a group photo on stage? Sure, this is allowed. We are also happy about the linking of our channels on social media!

Picture, video and audio recordings of our staff and artists are not permitted. This also applies if they are only in the background to the motif you have chosen.
We are obliged to protect the personal rights of our employees and artists.

Please also follow the separate instructions of our opera house guides regarding the respective stage sets. Photography is also not permitted during new productions and premieres.

Thank you for your understanding.

Note on disabled access

Opernhaus Düsseldorf is an historic building. Especially in backstage areas it is not accessible to the disabled. Those taking part in our guided tours must be prepared to walk for some time without being able to sit down. Several floors can only be reached by stairs (no lift). We appreciate your understanding.
