I've visited Frankfurt quite a few times for a variety of different events or performances, but the ones I've seen at Oper Frankfurt are among the most memorable.

Amazingly, this place was left in ruins for decades after WWII. But today it is the heart of the classical music scene in the city and a must-see tourist attraction. Despite its name, it is mostly a concert hall rather than an opera house.

Nice modern opera. My wife was amazed with performance 'Julius Cesear in Egipt'. Performance took 3 hours and consisted of all new technologies like light, video projections etc. Nice place with very cultural climate

Excellent opera house at reasonable prices, but be careful as overhead text cannot be read from all seats.
