The wait is over. On October 12, 2024, OPAL, the Opera at Luisenpark, was opened as a permanent interim venue for opera and dance in Mannheim's Oststadt district ("Oktoberfestplatz").
During the renovation phase of the Spielhaus am Goetheplatz, we present a varied opera and dance program on a large stage. The core of the building complex is a lightweight hall with an area of 2431 square meters, which can be dismantled and used for other purposes after its use as an interim venue for the NTM. While the building's exterior is characterized by its simplicity and industrial appearance, opera lovers can expect an elegant and modern ambience inside, which more than meets the requirements of an interim venue for the opera. Thanks to a sophisticated acoustic concept, you can enjoy sonorous opera and concert moments. The visual spectrum of the various performances unfolds along the 18-metre-wide stage portal, which is only two meters narrower than in the Spielhaus on Goetheplatz.
Enjoy great opera experiences, concerts and dance evenings in an extraordinary ambience. Discover the sparkle of the OPAL!
