Big Opera

What will stages look like in the future? What shape can these central places of collective cultural encounters take? What must opera houses and theaters offer as places of public life in the future? These questions were posed in the exhibition "BIG OPERA - A LOT OF THEATER?" in 2018. Since then, intensive, often controversial discussions have continued in Frankfurt and other cities about the renovation or new construction of these cultural buildings with high significance for urban society.

"BIG OPERA - A LOT MORE THEATER?" picks up the thread again, compares the developments in different cities and also presents two current best practice examples. The exhibition also looks at the location options for opera and theater in Frankfurt am Main.

Opening: 9.10.2024, 7 pm
Speakers: 
Ina Hartwig, Head of the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main
Andrea Jürges, Deputy Director of the German Architecture Museum (DAM)
