A modern glassy dome enhances the iconic venue for the elegant Dortmund Opera House. Within the modernist structure are a graceful auditorium and stage upon which such important works as Wagner’s *Tristan und Isolde* have been performed. Check the schedule online and purchase tickets to one of the operatic shows. When you arrive, stand on the large pedestrian plaza and marvel at the greenish glass dome that has a metallic aesthetic reminiscent of a fly’s eye. See the structure at night, when its interior stands out for its illumination. Once inside the building, appreciate the airy and spacious design and climb the stairs for excellent views of the surrounding parks and landmarks. Grab a drink or snack from the elegant bar in anticipation of a performance. After taking your seat, look around and admire the majesty of the grand auditorium. It is made up of rows of stylish red seats, balconies and innovative light fittings. The opera house was built in 1966 to replace a previous incarnation, which was destroyed in World War I. The new structure’s opening show was Richard Strauss’ *Der Rosenkavalier*. Buy tickets online. Prices vary according to each show. The Dortmund Theater handles the operation of the venue, which was designed by architects Heinrich Rosskotten and Edgar Tritthart. See some of the dramatic performances at the neighboring theater complex. Browse some of the shops and restaurants on the adjacent Platz der Alten Synagoge, whose name is derived from the former presence of a synagogue. Dortmund Opera House is on the southern side of the Dortmund city center. Ride a bus to the stop just outside the venue. Visit some of the surrounding sights, such as the Stadtgarten park, the Museum Adlerturm and the adjacent Thier-Galerie Dortmund shopping mall. ## Plan a trip to see Dortmund Opera House Price found within the past 48 hours.

(81 reviews) Room was excellent, clean and spacious. Thought has been put into everything in this hotel. It is great value for the cost. The breakfast was great. I apprecieted the little extras that the hotel offers, like infused water in the lobby. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great, walk from the hauptbahnhof, ubahn outside the door. The German Soccer museum is a couple of minutes walk away and there is easy access to Signal Iduna Park. I would definitely stay here again.
