Experts' Choice Award Alte Oper
What the experts agree on
Frankfurt's iconic 1880 opera house, meticulously reconstructed after WWII destruction, impresses with its stunning architecture and grand square setting. Now hosts symphonic concerts rather than opera, with a modern interior beyond the ornate lobby.
“Except for the mosaics in the lobby, the interior (closed except during concerts) is modern.”
