"Bayreuth’s majestic Margravial Opera House, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012, is one of Germany’s finest examples of Baroque court-theater architecture. Commissioned in the 18th century by Margravine Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth—daughter of the Prussian king and sister of Frederick the Great, and a talented musician in her own right—the theater was designed by renowned Italian architect Giuseppe Galli Bibiena, who modeled it after the opera houses of Vienna and Dresden. Today, it’s the only existing venue where opera fans can enjoy an authentic Baroque experience, complete with the original wood and canvas materials in the auditorium. Other highlights include a large stage portal framed by columns, detailed sculptures in the loge, and impressive 3-D paintings created as backdrops."

From the outside you could mistake it for any other old tenement house. Inside it's the most impressive opera I have ever seen, worthy of UNESCO title for sure. The visit to the Opera is limited to ground floor seats and a view from one of the lounges (unless you go with the guide) after that it's a modern museum, which is also quite interesting and has a miniature scene with which you can play. You can't bring any bags even the smallest ones, cabinets are downstairs for 1euro you get back. I wish someday to visit a play here since it has to be magical.

The entry ticket was 10€, but IT'S ALL WORTH IT! The Stage was just beautiful, it's like stepping into the past and it makes you wonder how ugly Art in our present day has become.

Beautiful opera house and super interesting museum. Kids (10,7,5) loved it. There is a special riddle game for kids to and some interactive pieces in the museum - we spent over 2 hours there.

Beautiful! Beautiful and again Beautiful place! Very affordable, interesting exposition about history of the theater. Really worth visiting. There is WC (you don't have to buy ticket for that). Note, that you can't go with your backpack and it has to be stored so keep 1 euro coin to lock the locker

Beautiful place, and our English language tour guide was a very nice young man.

The theater was beautiful but the museum upstairs was so modern and honestly an eye sore. I'm not sure why for such an old building they decided to make a modern museum

Oh this place is cool! Purchased tickets at Neues Schloss Bayreuth and the rate was a few dollars cheaper - we were going to both anyway ( in walking distance of each other). I loved that you can spend as little or as long as you like. The interactive museum was busy so we walked through quickly ( we'll be back! ). I went with my parents and an 11 year old. We all enjoyed this place :)

Amazing. Really stunning interior. I recommend going when there is a guided tour (3 euro extra per person)
