Old Opera House
Introduction Completed in 1880, it is a replica of the Paris Opera House. Its exterior is in the style of ancient Greece, with its round-arched windows reflecting late Renaissance style, while its interior is lavishly Baroque. During World War II, it was almost completely destroyed. Afterward, a public vote was held, and it was decided to rebuild it. Authorities carried out a restoration costing 110 million euros, keeping the exterior as close to the original as possible, while modernizing the interior. Statues of Goethe and Mozart add to the building’s charm. Transportation Take the subway to Alte Oper station.
