The State Opera and the State Theatre occupy leading places in international rankings; the Theatre was ranked third behind Zurich and Berlin amongst the German language theatres of Europe. Opera productions in Hannover cause a furore far beyond the boundaries of the city, dividing their highly outspoken audiences into committed disciples and opponents, and keeping Hannover in the headlines of the arts pages of national newspapers.

The "Oper" was build by Laves a prominent architect of this region......The house itself is a beautiful spot in the modern city center.....
These days the opera shows very modern works and so it´s in the critics by many opera lovers.....

The opera house was built in 1845-52 based on a plan drawn by Laves. Originally it served as the royal theatre, as the king considered the theatre in the Leineschloß too small. The new opera house is a classical style building with two large wings and a balcony with statues of famous poets and composers. The balcony used to be open so that visitors could drive straight to the entrance in their carriages. Nowadays they can use the stairs to the underground car park. Hannover's opera house was badly damaged in the Second World War an rebuilt in 1948. In 1985 the acoustics were improved and between 1996 and 1998 the stage equipment was restored.

Built in 1852, the opera used to be a theater for the king. In 1943, the opera burned down - fortunately it got rebuilt in 1948. Maybe you've got the chance to hear some German yodeling in the opera, too?! ;-))
